Calculate the (molar) energy of electrostatic repulsion between two hydrogen nuclei at the separation in H 2
Question:
Calculate the (molar) energy of electrostatic repulsion between two hydrogen nuclei at the separation in H2 (74.1pm). The result is the energy that must be overcome by the attraction from the electrons that form the bond. Does the gravitational attraction between them play any significant role? Hint: The gravitational potential energy of two masses is equal to −Gm1m2/r; G is listed inside the front cover.
