The potential energy of two atoms in a diatomic molecule is approximated by U(r) = a/r12-b/r6, where r is the spacing between atoms and a and b are positive constants. Suppose the distance between the two atoms is equal to the equilibrium distance found in part A. What minimum energy must be added to the molecule to dissociate it - that is, to separate the two atoms to an infinite distance apart? This is called the dissociation energy of the molecule. Express your answer in terms of the variables a and b. For the molecule CO, the equilibrium distance between the carbon and oxygen atoms is 1.13\times 10-10m and the dissociation energy is 1.54\times 10-18J per molecule. Find the value of the constant a. Express your answer in joules times meter in the twelth power. Find the value of the constant b. Express your answer in joules times meter in the sixth power.
Q3: The potential energy function for the force between two atoms in a diatomic molecule is approximately given by U(x) = - 읆 옮 , where a and b are constant and x is the distance between the atoms. If the dissociation energy of the molecule is (U(x= ∞) -U at equilibrium), D is (a) b²/6a (b) b²/2a (c) b²/12a (d) b²/4a
One description of the potential energy of a diatomic molecule is given by the Lennard–Jones potential,                                            U = (A)/(r12) - (B)/(r6)where A and B are constants and r is the separation distance between the atoms. Find, in terms of A and B, (a) the value r0 at which the energy is a minimum and (b) the energy E required to break up a diatomic molecule.
