Chapter 14, Problem 14C.1P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The plot of function $g\left(r\right)$ has to be drawn.  Whether the corresponding plot resembles the given plot or not has to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Two neutral atoms or molecule first experience an attractive force when they come in contact with each other.  After a certain distance these particles experience repulsion force.  This type of interaction can be represented by Lennard-Jones potential equation.  The Lennard-Jones potential energy $\left(V\right)$ is given by the expression as shown below.

    $V=4\epsilon \left\{{\left(\frac{r_0}{r}\right)}^{12}-{\left(\frac{r_0}{r}\right)}^6\right\}$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The plot of virial $v_2\left(r\right)=r\left(\text{d}V/\text{d}r\right)$ has to drawn.
