Which force is stronger, the attractive force or the repulsive force, when two hydrogen atoms form a stable molecule?

Options

  1. AAttractive force is stronger.
  2. BRepulsive force is stronger.
  3. CAttractive and repulsive forces are equal.
  4. DCannot be determined.

Correct answer

A. Attractive force is stronger.

Step-by-step solution

Two hydrogen atoms are said to be bonded together to form a stable molecule having the bond length of 74 pm, which implies that the attractive force is strong enough to overcome the repulsive force.
