If one of the two electrons of a hydrogen molecule is removed, we get a hydrogen molecule ion `(H_(2)^(+))`. In the ground state of `H_(2)^(+)`, the two protons are separated roughly by `1.5 Å` and electron is roughly `1 Å` from each proton. Determine the potential energy of the system. Specify your choice of zero of potential energy.
