An ionized 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 an H-atom.
C. the electrons, the orbit would go around the protons.
D. the molecule will soon decay in a proton and an H-atom.

The correct answers are the options (a, c). The electron present in the hydrogen atom revolves in a circular path around a fixed nucleus. This easily explained by the Bohr’s model. But the Bohr’s model cannot explain the protonated structure of hydrogen atom when t contains two protons around the nucleus separated by a small distance in the same order of angstrom. So, in this ground state scenario, the electrons orbit will go around the protons instead of moving in their usual circular path around the nucleus.
