Concept explainers
The binding energy.
Answer to Problem 3P
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
Two electrons spend
Distance
Formula used:
Binding energy
Where,
Calculation:
According to the question, At the time when electrons are midway between the protons then each electron will have potential energy due to two protons. So,
The protons have potential energy:
When bond breaks, each hydrogen atom will be in ground state with energy
So, the binding energy will be
Conclusion: The required value is
