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 $1.5 \; Å,$ and the electron is roughly $1 \; Å$ from each proton. Determine the potential energy of the system. Specify your choice of the zero of potential energy. (in $; eV.$)
