(30 pts.) Atomic van der Waals interactions can described by the following relationship B = a
where Ka and KR are constants relating to attractive and repulsive interactions, respectively. Use values of KA = 10.37x10-78 J-mø, Kr= 16.16x10-135 J-m12 and equilibrium bond length of 0.382 nm for argon. a. (10 pts) Calculate the equilibrium bond energy for argon. b. (5 pts) Plot the attractive, repulsive and overall energies vs r over the range r= 0.33 to 0.8 nm. c. (15 pts.) Derive an expression for the slope of the force curve at the equilibrium bond length (ro) and use it to calculate this value for argon.
