Predictions about bonding and molecular structure

Skectch the energy of the electron in the molecule as a function of R assuming that the electron is always in the lowest energy bound state. Give physical explainations for the and limits of your curves.

Skectch the total energy of the molecule, including the internuclear repulsion, . Show that the two atoms prefer to form a bond over being separated at infinite distance by considering the separation , where .
