Lennard-Jones potential diagrams, also called intermolecular potential energy diagrams, illustrate the relationship between the potential energy of a molecule as the distance between the two nuclei changes. Select all of the true statements regarding Lennard-Jones potential diagrams. a. As the internuclear distance decreases, the attraction between the nuclei increases significantly, causing a steep increase in the potential energy of the system. b. As the internuclear distance decreases, the nuclear and electrostatic repulsions increase significantly, causing a steep increase in potential energy. c. Once a balance is found between the attractive and repulsive forces, the outer orbitals are able to overlap, thereby allowing a bond to form. d. When the nuclei are infinitely far apart, there is no repulsion or attraction between them; thus, the potential energy approaches zero. e. When the nuclei are infinitely far apart, the attractive forces between the nuclei are much greater than the repulsive forces between them, causing the potential energy to approach zero. f. Once the attractive forces are greater than the repulsive forces, the outer orbitals are able to overlap, thereby allowing a bond to form.
