Potential energy curve as a function of internuclear distance for an isolated \(\text{HCl}\) molecule.
Potential energy curve as a function of internuclear distance for an isolated \(\text{HCl}\) molecule.
The potential energy curve for an isolated \(\text{HCl}\) molecule as a function of internuclear distance is shown in the diagram. If a similar curve were plotted for an isolated \(\text{HBr}\) molecule on the same axes, where would the minimum of the \(\text{HBr}\) curve be located relative to the minimum of the \(\text{HCl}\) curve?
