What do you understand by the term electrostatic potential ?

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