Question

In the video, you can see that when two hydrogen atoms approach one another, a covalent bond is formed due to the overlap of the 1s orbital of each hydrogen atom. The process by which a covalent bond is formed is explained with the help of the graph of potential energy versus the distance between the two atoms. Identify which of the following statements are correct.

Answer 1

When two hydrogen atoms that are far apart approach each other, the potential energy decreases is correct.

What is Potential energy?

This is defined as the energy possessed by an object as a result of its position relative to other objects.

When the hydrogen atoms move by approaching each other, the kinetic energy increases and the potential energy decreases.
