JEE Main Chemistry question

Chemical bond formation takes place when:

(A)Energy is absorbed
(B)Forces of attraction overcome forces of repulsionCorrect
(C)Forces of repulsion overcome forces of attraction
(D)Forces of attraction are equal to forces of repulsion

Answer: (B)

Solution

A stable chemical bond forms only when the net attractive forces (nucleus-electron attraction between the combining atoms) exceed the repulsive forces (nucleus-nucleus and electron-electron
