MCQ
The points of maximum and minimum attraction in the curve between potential energy $(U)$ and distance $(r)$ of a diatomic molecules are respectively
  • A
    $S$ and $R$
  • B
    $T$ and $S$
  • C
    $R$ and $S$
  • $S$ and $T$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$S$ and $T$
d
(d) Attraction will be minimum when the distance between the molecule is maximum.
Attraction will be maximum at that point where the positive slope is maximum because

$F = - \frac{{dU}}{{dx}}$
