Question

3. When two atoms of chlorine combine to form one molecule of chlorine gas, the energy of the molecule is 1) greater than that of separate atoms 2) equal to that of separate atoms 3) lower than that of separate atoms 4) none of these

explain clearly please​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The atoms combine to form a molecule that has energy lower than the actual chlorine atom. This decreases the net energy of the molecule and thus has higher stability. Due to this lowering of energy the molecule is more stable. So, the correct answer is Option C
