Exploration of the Effects of Bond Length on the Potential Energy Curves for Diatomic Compounds
By Ramsey Cotton and Ashley Summers Faculty mentor: Leanna Giancarlo Bond dissociation energy (BDE) is the unique energy required to break a bond in a molecule into its respective atoms or molecular fragments. In this study, the theories behind harmonic and anharmonic oscillators, which address BDE of diatomic molecules, were employed to relate the length…
