Bond Energy
Morse curve
Plot of potential energy vs distance between two atoms. The bond energy is energy that must be added from the minimum of the 'potential energy well' to the point of zero energy, which represents the two atoms being infinitely far apart, or, practically speaking, not bonded to each other.
