Question:

A hydrogen molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms whose nuclei are single protons. Find the force between the two protons in a hydrogen molecule whose distance apart is 7.42 × 10−11 m. (The two electrons in the molecule spend more time between the protons than outside them, which leads to attractive forces that balance the repulsion of the protons and permit a stable molecule; see Chap. 10.)
