Question
A molecule. of hydrogen contains two protons and two electrons. The nuclear force between these two protons is always neglected while discussing the behaviour of a hydrogen molecule. Why?
✓

Answer

Inside the nucleus, two protons exert nuclear force on each other. These forces are short-ranged (a few fm), strong and attractive forces. They also exert electrostatic repulsive force (long-ranged). While discussing the behaviour of a hydrogen molecule, the nuclear force between the two protons is always neglected. This is because the separation between the two protons in the molecule is ~70pm which is much greater than the range of the nuclear force.
