Previous Assignment: 

The figure below shows the bonding of the cytosine and guanine molecules. The O - H and H - N distances are each 0.110 nm. In this case, assume that the bonding is due only to the forces along the O - H - O, N - H - N and O - H - N combinations, and assume also that these three combinations are parallel to each other. Calculate the net force that cytosine exerts on guanine due to the preceding three combinations. Is this force attractive or repulsive?
