Solution

  • The hydrogen atom is electrically neutral because it contains one proton(+ve) and one electron(-ve).
  • Therefore, attractive forces (between positive nuclei and negatively charged electrons) and repulsive forces (between two positive nuclei) are the two opposing forces that start acting between two hydrogen atoms when they are brought together.
