Question

a chemical bond is simply the internuclear distance at which the______ of the system is achieved. greatest contraction greatest potential energy greatest expansion lowest potential energy question 8 1 pts a pure covalent bond occurs when two identical atoms share electrons evenly. true false

Explanation:

For the first question, chemical bonds form at the internuclear distance where the system has the lowest potential energy as it is the most stable state. For the second question, a pure covalent bond indeed occurs when two identical atoms share electrons evenly because their electronegativities are the same.

Answer:

1. D. lowest potential energy
2. A. True
