At large interatomic separations, an alkali halide molecule MX has a lower energy as two neutral atoms, M+X ; at short separations, the ionic form (M+)(X) has a lower energy. At a certain distance, Rc , the energies of the two forms become equal, and it is near this distance that the electron will jump from the metal to the halogen atom during a collision. Because the forces between neutral atoms are weak at large distances, a reasonably good approximation can be made by ignoring any variation in potential V(R) for the neutral atoms between Rc and R= . For the ions in this distance range, Rc is dominated by their Coulomb attraction. (a) Express Rc for the first ionization energy of the metal M and the electron affinity of the halogen X. (b) Calculate Rc for LiF, KBr, and NaCl using data fromAppendix F.
In a gaseous RbF molecule, the bond length is 2.2741010m .
