NEET Chemistry Covalent Bond MCQ Question
What occurs when two atoms approach each other during covalent bond formation?
Attractive forces exceed repulsive forces.
Nuclei repel each other more strongly.
Only repulsive forces are present.
Electrons are exchanged completely.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
As two atoms approach, attractive forces tend to bring them close together, and the magnitude of the new attractive force is found to be more than the new repulsive forces, leading to bond formation.
