← ScienceWhich outcome results from exceeding Lennard-Jones potential minimum?
A)Molecular dipole moment remains constant
B)Intermolecular repulsive forces dominate✓
C)Increased covalent and ionic bonding
D)Kinetic energies always remain balanced
💡 Explanation
Dominating intermolecular repulsion occurs because exceeding the Lennard-Jones potential minimum leads to strong electron cloud overlap via Pauli exclusion. Therefore, repulsive behavior governs rather than molecular attraction, which is favored only at the potential well minimum.
