MCQ (Multiple Correct Answer)
An ionised H -molecule consists of an electron and two protons. The protons are separated by a small distance of the order of angstrom. In the ground state.
A
the electron would not move in circular orbits
B
the energy would be (2) ${ }^4$ times that of a H -atom
C
the electrons, orbit would go around the protons
D
the molecule will soon decay in a proton and a H -atom

MCQ (Multiple Correct Answer)
Consider aiming a beam of free electrons towards free protons. When they scatter, an electron and a proton cannot combine to produce a H -atom.
A
Because of energy conservation
B
Without simultaneously releasing energy in the form of radiation
C
Because of momentum conservation
D
Because of angular momentum conservation
