Abstract. Statement of Kaur and Mahajan [1] about the definition of

$\Delta$ used by Chandra [2] is not correct. Even if we take

$\Delta = \mu \omega_e^2 r_e^2/2 D_e$, the relation between

$\Delta$ and $G$(=$8 \omega_e x_e/B_e)$ is obtained as $\Delta =

4.21452856 G$, provided the vibrational energy of a diatomic

molecule is expressed in terms of limited Dunham coefficients,

$Y_{10}$, $Y_{20}$, $Y_{01}$  and $Y_{11}$. This relation is still

different from that of  Kaur and Mahajan [3].

 

Keywords. Diatomic molecules; dissociation energy; equilibrium distance.
