NEETChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
Which of the following best summarizes the valence bond theory of covalent bond formation, using the example of hydrogen, and explains the interpretation of energy changes during dihydrogen formation?
Options
- AThe valence bond theory involves the sharing of electrons between hydrogen atoms, leading to the formation of
- BThe valence bond theory suggests that hydrogen atoms exchange electrons to create a covalent bond. Energy is a
- CThe valence bond theory proposes that hydrogen atoms attract each other electrostatically, resulting in a cova
- DThe valence bond theory describes hydrogen atoms repelling each other, causing the formation of a covalent bon
Correct answer
A. The valence bond theory involves the sharing of electrons between hydrogen atoms, leading to the formation of
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) The valence bond theory involves the sharing of electrons between hydrogen atoms, leading to the formation of a covalent bond. Energy is released during dihydrogen formation due to the stabilization of the system.
