JEE Main Chemistry question

During the formation of a chemical bond

(A)Electron-electron repulsion becomes more than the nucleus-electron attraction
(B)Energy of the system does not change
(C)Energy increases
(D)Energy decreasesCorrect

Answer: (D)

Solution

A chemical bond forms only when the resulting arrangement is more stable (lower in energy) than the separated atoms; the attractive forces (nucleus–electron) exceed
