Potential energy curves for diatomic molecules.
Potential energy curves for diatomic molecules.
A student plots the potential energy as a function of internuclear distance for a molecule of \(\text{O}_2(g)\), shown as the solid curve in the diagram. The student then wants to plot the curve for a molecule of \(\text{N}_2(g)\). Which of the labeled dashed curves best represents the potential energy profile for \(\text{N}_2(g)\)?
