Consider a classical calculation of the potential energy of a snapshot in time of a classical H2 molecule. The electrons are labeled 1 and 2. The nuclei are labeled A and B. Use the following distances R = 74.0 pm, rA1= 52 pm, rB1=90 pm, rB2=52 pm, rA2= 90 pm, r12= 128 pm. Use Coulomb's Law to calculate the potential energy of this arrangement of particles in kJ/mol. Is the overall potential energy attractive or repulsive for this arrangement?
