Potential energy as a function of internuclear distance for \(\text{Cl}_2\) and \(\text{Br}_2\).
Potential energy as a function of internuclear distance for \(\text{Cl}_2\) and \(\text{Br}_2\).
The potential energy curves for the formation of homonuclear diatomic molecules of two halogens, \(\text{Cl}_2\text{(g)}\) and \(\text{Br}_2\text{(g)}\), from their isolated ground-state atoms are shown in the graph. Based on the principles of atomic structure and chemical bonding, which curve corresponds to \(\text{Cl}_2\text{(g)}\), and what is the correct justification?
