Question: 1 . The potential energy, E , per Cs + - Cl - ion pair within the CsCl crystal depends on the interionic separation, r

1. The potential energy, E, per Cs+-Cl- ion pair within the CsCl
crystal depends on the interionic separation, r, expressed
mathematically thus: E(r)=-e2M/(4p\epsi 0r)+ B/rm, where, e =1.6 x
10-19 C, M =1.763,\epsi 0=8.85x10-12 Fm-1, B =1.192 x 10-104 Jm9,
or 7.442 x 10-5 eV(mm)9, and m =9,. Find the equilibrium
separation (requ), of the ions in the crystal and the ionic bonding
energy that is the ionic cohesive energy. Next, generate the
corresponding Energy-Separation plot for the cesium chloride solid.
Repeat exercise for the Force-Separation plot. All plots must be
carried out with specified Scales. 2. The van der Waals bonding in
solid argon can be expressed mathematically thus: E(r)=-Ar -6+
Br -12, where, A and B are constants. Given that A=8.0 x 10-77
Jm6, and B =1.12 x 10-133 Jm12. Calculate the bond length, requ,
and the bond energy in eV (electron Volts) for the solid argon.
Next, generate the corresponding Energy-Separation plots. Repeat
the exercise for the Force-Separation plot. All plots must be
carried out with specified Scales.
