Question

The interaction between two fluorine atoms in a diatomic molecule is described by the Lennard-Jones force ﻿F(r)=F0[2(σ/r)13−(σ/r)7]F(r)=$$F_0$$[2(σ$$/r)^{13}$$-(σ$$/r)^7$$]F(r)=F0​[2(σ/r)13−(σ/r)7]﻿ , where r is their separation distance, and σ and ﻿F0F_0F0​﻿ are constants that characterize fluorine (﻿F0=1.00×10−10 N, σ=3.15×10−11 $$mF_0=1.00$$	imes $$10^{-10}$$\ N,\ σ=3.15	imes $$10^{-11}$$\ mF0​=1.00×10−10 N, σ=3.15×10−11 m﻿). Create the graph of the potential energy ﻿U(r)U(r)U(r)﻿ for distances ranging from ﻿0.9r00.9r_00.9r0​﻿ to ﻿2.0r02 .0r₀2.0r0​﻿, where ﻿r0r₀ r0​﻿ denotes the equilibrium separation distance between the atoms.
