Answer to Problem 1Q
Option (a) and (c).
Explanation of Solution
The two balls connected by a spring can be represented as the good model for atom because the atoms attract each other when they after far from the interatomic distance therefore, option (a) is correct.
As the spring stretches or compressed the restoring force is proportional to the distance moved or the amount of stretch. Similarly, the magnitude of force exerts on each atom is proportional to the stretch or compression of the bond between them.
Conclusion:
The atoms attract each other after the interatomic distance thus, option (a) is correct. The amount of force on atoms is proportional to the amount of stretch or compression. Thus, option (c) is correct.
The adjacent atoms never combining with any wire, thus option (b) is incorrect.
