The harmonic potential, V(x) = ¼kx?, is useful start for modelling molecular vibrations, but it has limitations. A realistic potential between to atoms should accurately represent the sharp increase in the potential as two nuclei come in close proximity, and also have the ability for a bond to break: that is, an asymptote V → 0 as x →o. One option, as shown in the figure, is the Morse potential: V(r) = D(1 – e-a(r=re))2
