The correct response is:
**The total potential energy of the separated atoms is less than the total potential energy if the atoms bonded together.**
In this situation, the system would favor the separated atoms because they are at a lower potential energy state compared to the bonded state.
**The total potential energy of the separated atoms is less than the total potential energy if the atoms bonded together.**
In this situation, the system would favor the separated atoms because they are at a lower potential energy state compared to the bonded state.
