Lennard-Jones potential diagrams, also called intermolecular potential energy diagrams, illustrate the relationship between the potential energy of a molecule as the distance between the two nuclei changes. Select all of the true statements regarding Lennard-Jones potential diagrams.1. As the internuclear distance decreases, the attraction between the nuclei increases significantly, causing a steep increase in the potential energy of the system.2. Once a balance is found between the attractive and repulsive forces, the outer orbitals are able to overlap, thereby allowing a bond to form.3. When the nuclei are infinitely far apart, there is no repulsion or attraction between them; thus, the potential energy approaches zero.4. Once the attractive forces are greater than the repulsive forces, the outer orbitals are able to overlap, thereby allowing a bond to form.5.

Why is the molecular geometry for water classified as bent and not linear?
Y Hint Lennard-Jones potential diagrams, also called intermolecular potential energy diagrams, illustrate the relationship between the potential energy of a molecule as the distance between the two nuclei changes. Select all of the true statements regarding Lennard-Jones potential diagrams. Once a balance is found between the attractive and repulsive forces, the outer orbitals are able to overlap, thereby allowing a bond to form. When the nuclei are infinitely far apart, the attractive forces between the nuclei are much greater than the repulsive forces between them, causing the potential energy to approach zero. When the nuclei are infinitely far apart, there is no repulsion or attraction between them; thus, the potential energy approaches zero. As the internuclear distance decreases, the nuclear and electrostatic repulsions increase significantly, causing a steep increase in potential energy. As the internuclear distance decreases, the attraction between the nuclei increases…

How does decreasing the total energy of the system affect the stability of the pair of atoms in the system? Does this decrease in total energy make them more or less likely to stick together (AKA form a stable interaction)? Choice 1 :More likely to stick together Choice 2 of 2:Less likely to stick together Explain why in the box below, be sure to reference the actions of the atoms and molecules as the energy flows from the system (two He atoms) to the surroundings (the outside molecule).
