The molecular potential energy functions described in this book are required to correlate the rapidly growing information on a variety of elementary processes. For example, the reaction between O and H2 to form OH and H is subject in part to the same forces as those responsible for the molecular vibrations of H2O, although the reaction is complicated by changes in electronic state.
