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 two nuclei in the carbon monoxide (CO) molecules are 0.1128 nm apart.  The mass of the carbon atom is 1.993x10-26 kg.  The mass of the oxygen atom is 2.656x10-26 kg.  Spectroscopic measurements show that adjacent vibrational energy levels for the CO molecule are 0.269 eV.   What is the effective spring constant of the CO molecule? (Give your answer in N/m.)
