The net potential energy E_N between two adjacent ions is sometimes represented by the expression: E_N = -C/r + D times exp (-r/rho) in which r is the interionic separation and C, d, and rho are constants whose values depend on the specific material. Derive an expression for the bonding energy E_0 in terms of the equilibrium interionic separation r_0 and the constants D and rho. Derive another expression for E_0 in terms of r_0, C and rho.
