Two hydrogen atoms interact to form a hydrogen molecule. Classify the following statements that describe the stages of bond formation in a hydrogen molecule according to the predominant force existing between the two hydrogen atoms. I need to match the choices below with the right box. Box 1) Attractive force is predominant between the two atoms Box
2) Repulsive force is predominant between the two atoms Box
3) Attractive and Repulsive forces balance each other Box
4) There is no interactions between the two atoms.
Choices:
1. Two hydrogen atoms form a stable hydrogen molecule.
2. Two hydrogen atoms start to combine to form a hydrogen molecule.
3. Two hydrogen atoms are very far apart.
4. The internuclear distance between the two hydrogen atoms is less than the bond length.
5. The potential energy of the system is positive.
6. The two hydrogen atoms approach each other to form a bond.
7. The potential energy of the system is at minimum.
