In this video I demonstrate calculations of quantum harmonic oscillator in Excel. For the best experience, I recommend viewing it full screen!

Lennard-Jones Potential Equation $$V\left(r\right)=4ϵ[(\frac{\sigma }{r}{)}^{12}-(\frac{\sigma }{r}{)}^6]$$ $$\sigma =\frac{r_m}{2^{1/6}}$$ Here, epsilon is the energy minimum and r_m is the distance of the energy minimum. Note the part of the equation inside the square brackets. Recall that negative energies represent a more favorable interaction. The attractive term (raised to the power of 6) is subtracted from the repulsive term (raised to the power of 12).
