Chapter 6, Problem 13QAP

(1)

To determine

To establish:

The relationship between the force $\left(F\right)$ as the function of interionic distance $\left(r\right)$.

(2)

To determine

To derive:

The force $\frac{dF}{dr}$

(3)

To determine

To solve:

The interionic distance $\left(r\right)$ which is corresponds to the equilibrium interionic spacing $\left(r_0\right)$.

(4)

To determine

To substitute:

The expression for $\left(r_0\right)$ into the derivative of the force $\frac{dF}{dr}$
