              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 arround the protons (d) the molecule will soon decay in a proton  and a H-atom

Answer:

      In an ionised hydrogen molecule, as there are two protons and one electron, therefore, electron's orbit would go around the two protons separated by a small distance (~).  This orbit shall not be a circular orbit. Choices (a) and (c) are correct,
