Question: Problem 4 . I have a diatomic, ionically bonded material having attractive and repulsive energies as a function of interatomic separation distance of E A

Problem 4. I have a diatomic, ionically bonded material having attractive and repulsive energies as a function of interatomic separation distance of
EA=-2.34r,ER=6.910-5r9
Where EA and ER are in units of electron volts (eV) and interatomic spacing, r , is in units of nanometers ( nm ). Recall that the total energy of a bond is just the sum of the attractive and repulsive forces and that minimization of total (net) energy indicates the actual spacing of the two atoms at rest (without application of any external stimulus).
a) Create a plot showing EA,En, and Eretal as a function of interatomic spacing for the molecule.
NOTE: I recommend plotting your solution, roughly, on the range;
Problem 4 . I have a diatomic, ionically bonded
