Plot the obtained distance-trajectory. Does the dissociation occur? If it occurs, does the actual transition happens quickly ? Is dissociation a likely or rare event ? Do you expect an activation energy ? | Plot the obtained distance-trajectory. Does the dissociation occur? If it occurs, does the actual transition happens quickly ?
