Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The position at which repulsive forces are high between the two atoms should be identified.
Concept introduction:
When two atoms are very close to each other repulsion occurs.
When two atoms are very far to each other, no repulsion occurs.
When distance between atoms is optimum there will be maximum attractions the energy is very.
Interpretation:
The position of the two atoms which neither exerts attractive nor repulsive forces on one another should be determined.
Concept introduction:
When two atoms are very close to each other repulsion occurs.
When two atoms are very far to each other, no repulsion occurs.
When distance between atoms is optimum there will be maximum attractions the energy is very.
Interpretation:
The position at which the attractive forces between atoms that are maximized which results in the lowest energy state should be determined.
Concept introduction:
When two atoms are very close to each other repulsion occurs.
When two atoms are very far to each other, no repulsion occurs.
When distance between atoms is optimum there will be maximum attractions the energy is very.
Interpretation:
The position at which the attractive forces are present but are not at maximum strength should be determined.
Concept introduction:
When two atoms are very close to each other repulsion occurs.
When two atoms are very far to each other, no repulsion occurs.
When distance between atoms is optimum there will be maximum attractions the energy is very.
