MCQ
$O_2$ molecule consists of two oxygen atoms. In the molecule, nuclear force between the nuclei of the two atoms:
  • 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 have equal number of neutrons and protons.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Is not important because nuclear forces are short$-$ranged.

Nuclear forces are very short range forces. So, in the molecule, nuclear force between the nuclei of the two atoms is not important.
