Explanation of Solution

Introduction: Signature of the interaction of different particles within the matter is termed as Potential energy curve. 

A diatomic molecule is found to have an activation energy of 1.4eV . According to the question when the bond is broken, energy is released. Also, this energy can be used to for other chemical reactions. Since dissociation energy releases, the binding energy is positive and the diagram will be
