Type 1: Subjective Numerical

Assertion. The atoms in a covalent molecule are said to share electrons, yet some covalent molecules are polar.
Reason. In a polar covalent molecule, the shared electrons spend more time than average near one of the atoms

Assertion. When two hydrogen atoms approach each other to form a covalent bond, nearly of energy is released.
Reason. When two atoms approach each other to form a covalent bond between them, potential energy of the system continuously decreases.
