In the following question, an Assertion (A) is followed by a corresponding Reason (R). Use the following keys to choose the appropriate answer.
Assertion : When two hydrogen atoms approach each other from infinite distance nearly 436 kJ `mol^(-1)` of energy is released when the distance between them is 74 pm.
Reason : When two atoms approach each other to forms covalent bond between them, potential energy of the system continuously decreases.

A

Statement 1 is True, statement 2 is True, Statement 2 is Correct explanation for Statement 1.

B

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True, Statement 2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement 1.

C

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False.

D

Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
When two H atoms from infinite distance approach each other to form a covalent bond between the potential energy of the system decreases to a minimum and then increases.
