Bond length is the distance between the centers of two bonded atoms. On the potential energy curve, the bond length is the internuclear distance between the two atoms when the potential energy of the system reaches its lowest value. Given that the atomic radii of HH and II are 25.0 pmpm and 133 pmpm , respectively, predict the bond length of the HIHI molecule.
