The single bond between two hydrogen atoms can be represented as a line connecting the two nuclei of the atoms. Which of the following statements is FALSE about the hydrogen-hydrogen covalent bond? Select one: a. The bond can be explained by the electrostatic attraction between the negatively charged electrons and the positively charged H nuclei (protons). b. Hydrogen can form two or more covalent bonds with other hydrogen atoms at the same time. c. H2 is in its most stable state when the nuclei are 74 pm apart. d. The bond is a relatively strong covalent bond with a bond energy of 436 kJ/mol
