1000+800-2Potential Energy (kJ/mol)600 -400-200Internuclear Distance-200–400–600–800–1000+(b) The potential energy as a function of internuclear distance for the diatomicmolecules N2 and O2 is shown in the graph above. Based on the data in thegraph and the Lewis structures that you drew in part (a), which curve, 1 or 2,is the better representation of the N2 molecule? Justify your answer in terms ofthe principles of chemical bonding and bond energy.
