Packet E: Bonus 7
Simulations of these things may use the gradient of the Lennard-Jones potential to generate a force field. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name these things. The Born–Oppenheimer approximation is used when simulating the trajectories of these things in a technique known as their namesake “dynamics.”
ANSWER: molecules [accept molecular dynamics; accept atoms]
[10e] A term proportional to “distance to the power of negative six” in the Lennard-Jones potential represents the London dispersion force, which belongs to this class of weak intermolecular forces named for a Dutch scientist.
ANSWER: van der Waals forces
[10m] The repulsive term in the Lennard-Jones potential is proportional to “distance to the power of negative [this number].” The SI prefix “pico-” (“pee-ko”) is equivalent to a factor of “ten to the power of negative [this number].” Your answer should be a positive number.
ANSWER: 12 [or twelve; reject “negative 12”]
