In solid KCI the smallest distance between the centers of a. potassium ion and a chloride ion is 314 pm. Calculate the length of the edge of the unit cell and the density of KCI, assuming it has the same structure as sodium chloride.
A diatomic molecule consists of two atoms having masses m1 and m2 separated by a distance r. Show that the moment of inertia about an axis through the center of mass of the molecule is given by Equation 42.3, I = μr2.
One description of the potential energy of a diatomic molecule is given by the Lennard–Jones potential,                          U = (A)/(r12) - (B)/(r6)where A and B are constants and r is the separation distance between the atoms. For the H2 molecule, take A = 0.124 x 10-120 eV ⋅ m12 and B = 1.488 x 10-60 eV ⋅ m6. Find (a) the separation distance r0 at which the energy of the molecule is a minimum and (b) the energy E required to break up theH2 molecule.
