MCQ
The potential energy U between two molecules as a function of the distance r between them has been shown in the adjoining figure. The two molecules are:

  • A
    Attracted when r lies between A and B and repelled when r lies between B and C.
  • B
    Attracted when r lies between B and C and repelled when r lies between A and B.
  • C
    Attracted when they reach B.
  • D
    Repelled when they reach B.

Answer

  1. Attracted when r lies between B and C and repelled when r lies between A and B.
