Ideally speaking, bonds tend to form between two particles such that they

are separated by a distance where zero net force is exerted on them, and

their overall energy is minimized.

For chemical bonding to occur there must be dynamic equilibrium. This is

formed from  magnitude of the attractive and repulsive forces being equal

which translates to the net force being zero.

The overall energy at the exact point of bonding is at the minimum which is

to allow easy transfer or sharing of electrons in the formation of a compound.

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Ideally speaking, bonds tend to form between two particles such that they are separated by a distance where net force is exerted on them, and their overall energy is .

A.zero, maximized

B. a negative, minimized

C. a positive, minimized

D. a positive, maximized

E. zero, minimized

F. a negative, maximized

E. zero, minimized

Explanation:

Chemical bonding occurs when there is a dynamic equilibrium between the attractive and repulsive forces. This means  that the magnitudes of the attractive and repulsive forces are equal and the net force is zero.

Also, at the point where bonding occurs, the energy of the system is minimum. The point on the potential energy curve that represents the bonding energy is the lowest point on the curve.
