Concept: Coulomb’s Law (cont.) The sketch below shows the relative change in energy as two hydrogen (H) atoms are brought closer together. Because Hydogens both have positive charges, it has less to do with the charge it self and more about the magnitude of that charge.  Copy the diagram, then label the point where the bond is most likely to form by inserting two dots or H atoms.  Show all work for this question for full credit. Write out your response on a separate sheet of paper, labeling the question number clearly and circling or highlighting all answers. You will upload a photo of your response at the end of the exam.
