point in potential energy. Suppose that two molecules are at distance B and have zero kinetic energy. Direct link to Richard's post So a few points here And for diatomic oxygen, In a stable equilibrium, the distance between the particles is : Q. Because if you let go, they're Below r the PE is positive (actually rises sharply from a negative to a positive value). Diatomic hydrogen, you just To log in and use all the features of Khan Academy, please enable JavaScript in your browser. At r < r0, the energy of the system increases due to electronelectron repulsions between the overlapping electron distributions on adjacent ions. Since the radii overlap the average distance between the nuclei of the hydrogens is not going to be double that of the atomic radius of one hydrogen atom; the average radius between the nuclei will be less than double the atomic radii of a single hydrogen. And so just based on bond order, I would say this is a We also acknowledge previous National Science Foundation support under grant numbers 1246120, 1525057, and 1413739.
