In the potassium iodide (KI) molecule, assume the K and I atoms bond ionically by the transfer of one electron from K to I. (a) The ionization energy of K is 4.34 eV, and the electron affinity of I is 3.06 eV. What energy is needed to transfer an electron from K to I, to form K+\mathrm{K}^{+} and I\mathrm{I}^{-} ions from neutral atoms? This quantity is sometimes called the activation energy Ea.E_{a}. (b) A model potential energy function for the KI molecule is the Lennard-Jones potential:

U(r)=4ϵ[(σr)12(σr)6]+EaU(r)=4 \epsilon\left[\left(\frac{\sigma}{r}\right)^{12}-\left(\frac{\sigma}{r}\right)^{6}\right]+E_{a}

where r is the internuclear separation distance and ϵ\epsilon and σ\sigma are adjustable parameters. The EaE_{a} term is added to ensure the correct asymptotic behavior at large r. At the equilibrium separation distance, r=r0=0.305nm,r=r_{0}=0.305 \mathrm{nm}, U(r) is a minimum, and dU/dr = 0. In addition, U(r0)U\left(r_{0}\right) is the negative of the dissociation energy: U(r0)=3.37 eV.U\left(r_{0}\right)= -3.37\ \mathrm{eV}. Find σ\sigma and ϵ.\epsilon. (c) Calculate the force needed to break up a KI molecule. (d) Calculate the force constant for small oscillations about r=r0.r=r_{0} . Suggestion: Set r=r0+s,r=r_{0}+s, where s/r0<<1,s / r_{0}<<1, and expand U(r) in powers of s/r0s / r_{0} up to second-order terms.

Question

You are under water in a pond and look up through the smooth surface of the water at the Sun in the sky. Is the Sun in fact higher in the sky than it appears to you, or is it lower?
