The potential energy function for the force between two atoms in a diatomic molecule is approximately given by U(X)=a/X^12−b/x^6, where A and B are constants and X is the distance between the atoms. If, the dissociation energy of the molecule is D=[U(X=∞)−uatequilibrium], then D is equal to

Sol: \(\begin{array}{l}U(x) = \frac{a}{x^{12}} – \frac{b}{x^{6}}\end{array} \) \(\begin{array}{l}U(x = \infty) = 0\end{array} \) As F = \(\begin{array}{l}-\frac{dU}{dx}\end{array} \) = \(\begin{array}{l}[\frac{12a}{x^{13}}... View Article
