How is a hydrogen molecule formed in terms of atomic orbitals?

Options

  1. ABy the overlap of 2s-orbitals
  2. BBy the overlap of 2p-orbitals
  3. CBy the overlap of 1s-orbitals
  4. DBy the overlap of 3d-orbitals

Correct answer

C. By the overlap of 1s-orbitals

Step-by-step solution

A hydrogen molecule is formed due to the overlap of 1s-orbitals of two H atoms.
