Chemistry-Covalent Bond
NEET Chemistry Covalent Bond Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11
Assertion (A): The formation of a covalent bond between two atoms results in a decrease in potential energy. | Reason (R): The attractive forces between the nucleus of one atom and the electron of another atom are stronger than the repulsive forces between the electrons of the two atoms.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true, but R is false.
