Form of Binding Potential

The Morse constant a can be expressed through force constant and anharmonici-ty constant x of the oscillator formed by the bond atoms. The Morse function yields the energy eigenvalues of an anharmonic oscillator which are correct within a sizeable range of amplitudes (in the case of H2 for 0.4 r/ro 1.6). For large r, however, V becomes progressively too small [8b].
