If one of the two electrons of a H2 molecule is removed, we get a hydrogen molecular ion H+2. In the ground state of an H+2 , the two protons are separated by roughly 1.5 Å, and the electron is roughly 1 Å from each proton. Determine the potential energy of the system. Specify your choice of the zero of potential energy.
