Question

I need help with the last question. The one about on the same graph 

Upload a drawing of a graph showing the change in
potential energy (on the y-axis) as two molecules of
fluorine (F2) get closer together (on the x-axis). Label
the x-axis position where the molecules are most
stable.

Explain why the potential energy changes (either
increases or decreases) as the two molecules
approach.

On the same graph, use a dashed or dotted line to
represent chlorine (C12). Show the change in potential
energy (on the y-axis) when two molecules of chlorine
(C12) get closer together (on the x-axis). Label the x-
axis position where the chlorine molecules are most
stable.

Compare the energy changes and relative positions of
greatest stability for chlorine and fluorine. Explain why
these two curves are different. (Hint: note the boiling
points)
