NEETChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
Which of the following explains the formation of the H 2 molecule on the basis of valence bond theory?
Options
- AThe valence bond theory suggests that H 2 forms when two hydrogen atoms share a pair of electrons through the
- BAccording to the valence bond theory, H 2 forms when two hydrogen atoms transfer one electron each to create a
- CIn the valence bond theory, H 2 is formed when two hydrogen atoms collide and undergo a nuclear reaction, comb
- DValence bond theory does not provide an explanation for the formation of the H 2 molecule.
Correct answer
A. The valence bond theory suggests that H 2 forms when two hydrogen atoms share a pair of electrons through the
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) The valence bond theory suggests that H 2 forms when two hydrogen atoms share a pair of electrons through the overlap of their 1s atomic orbitals, resulting in the formation of a sigma (σ) bond.
