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.
According to a new spectroscopy analysis, the adjacent bond vectors was found to be
A = 1.07i + 0.83j + 0.81k
B = 1.03i + -0.99j + -0.85k
What is the angle (in degrees) between the bonds based on this new data?

- Stars similar to our sun eventually become white dwarfs, in which the hydrogen and helium have fused to form carbon and oxygen. The star has collapsed to a much smaller radius, which is why it is described as a “dwarf.” The electrons are not bound to the nuclei and form a degenerate Fermi gas within the white dwarf. Consider a white dwarf with a mass equal to the sun’s mass (1.99 x 1030 kg) but a radius of only 6.96 x 106 m, which is just 1% of the sun’s present radius.

In intermediate calculations, atomic units (a.u.) will be used: unit of mass = the mass of electron, unit of charge is the proton charge e, (e is a positive constant so that the charge of electron is -e). The initial state of the molecule is an excited rotational (1=1) and excited vibrational state (v=1). We consider a molecule with the reduced mass µ = 10,000 a.u. (it is similar to the mass of CO). After emitting a photon, the molecule will go to the 1=0, v=0 state. The first question is about the model potential of the molecule.
