O(2)molecules consists of two oxygen ato...

`O_(2)`molecules consists of two oxygen atoms. In the molecules , nuclear force between the nuclei of the two atoms

A

is not important because nuclear forces are short-ranged.

B

is as important as electrostatic force for binding the two atoms.

C

cancels the repulsive electrostatic force between the nuclei.

D

is not important because oxygen nucleus has equal number of neutrons and protons.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a
The nuclear forces between the nuclei of two atoms are not important because these forces are short-ranged and are confined within one particular nucleus only
