The goal of this exercise is to calculate the dissociate enery profile of the dihydrogen cation $H_2^+$. The curve should be record for three different fractions of Hartree-Fock exchange:

• 0% HF exchange, 100% PBE exchange
• 50% HF exchange, 50% PBE exchange
• 100% HF exchange, 0% PBE exchange

• Report the dissociation curve for the $H^+_2$ ion, for the three fractions of Hartree-Fock exchange employed.
