Using Potential Energy Surfaces of Diatomic Molecules to Determine the Bond Dissociation Energy via Computational Chemistry
By Skye Curry and Nathaniel Holbrook Faculty mentor: Dr. Leanna Giancarlo Abstract: The bond length along which two atoms vibrate can be altered in order to construct a potential energy surface used to determine the bond dissociation energy of a diatomic molecule. Carbon monoxide was initially used as the diatomic molecule of choice in this…
