Write simple valence bond wave functions for the diatomic molecules V2 and H2. I think H is supposed to be a variable, not Hydrogenarrow_forward44. The molecule H3* has long been speculated to exist. The interest here is that the addition of the smallest bit of nuclear matter, a proton, now introduces additional nuclear repulsion over the H₂ problem. The issue was whether electron distributions could lead to a stable configuration. a) Draw what you think would be the most stable structure for H3* and show all the Coulombic terms (write out the potential needed for the corresponding Schroedinger equation). b) Draw what you think is the least stable configure of the 3 protons and 2 electrons. c) It is found that the structure involves the rotation of one proton around the other two, and interchange of which proton is rotating. Offer a potential explanation (think tunneling).arrow_forward
