1.	Consider the given figure showing that possible levels of the energy of H_(2)^(+) ion depending on internuclear distance versus potential energy of the system. It may be easily assumed that the ground state of the molecular hydrogen ion H_(2)^(+) corresponds to the lowest level which means that
Answer» curve 1 represents the most stasble STATE of the system for `H_(2)^(+)` ion curve 2 represents the most stable state of the system of `H_(2)^(+)` ion data is insufficient None of these Solution :Curve 2 represents the most stable state becausein this curve energy decreases as the atoms come CLOSE together and there is a minimum is thecurve where energy is minimum and HENCE stability is MAXIMUM.
