B
Is as important as electrostatic force for binding the two atoms
C
Cancels the repulsive electrostatic force between the nuclei
D
Is not important because oxygen nucleus has equal number of neutrons and protons

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

In the given oxygen molecule nuclear force between the nuclei of two atoms is not important because nuclear forces being short ranged are confined only within one particular nucleus. the distance between the nuclei of two atoms is large so nuclear forces between two nuclei is not effective.
