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. For the H2 molecule, take A = 0.124 x 10-120 eV ⋅ m12 and B = 1.488 x 10-60 eV ⋅ m6. Find (a) the separation distance r0 at which the energy of the molecule is a minimum and (b) the energy E required to break up theH2 molecule.
The graph shows the potential energy curve for a system of two oxygen atoms.  Imagine the two atoms are in a bound state. If they are 0.1 nm apart and have no kinetic energy, what is the minimum amount of energy (in Joules) that needs to be added to the system in order to break the bond?
The work function of a certain metal is 226.7 kJ / mol. How fast must an He atom (4 amu) collide with the metal to be able to pull an electron from the surface and travel at 1000 m / s? Select one: 8.2619 x 1015m / s None of the above 10647 m / s 337 m / s
