Which of the following accurately describes the relationship between bond length, electronegativity, and potential energy in chemical bonds? Select only ONE answer choice.
Group of answer choices
The greater the electronegativity difference between two bonded atoms, the longer the bond length, the greater the potential energy in chemical bonds
The greater the electronegativity difference between two bonded atoms, the shorter the bond length, the greater the potential energy in chemical bonds
The greater the electronegativity difference between two bonded atoms, the shorter the bond length, the lower the potential energy in chemical bonds
The lower the electronegativity difference between two bonded atoms, the lower the bond length, the lower the potential energy in chemical bonds
None of the above
