Vibration-rotation spectra are rich For the CO molecule (data are given in Exercise 42), roughly how many rotational levels would there be between the ground vibrational state and the first excited vibrational state?

Short Answer

Expert verified

There are about 33 rotational modes between the first two vibrational modes.

Step by step solution

01

Significance of molecular vibrations

Movements of one atom within a molecule in relation to other atoms are known as molecular vibrations. The smallest vibrations are lengthening and shortening of a single link.

To understand this, picture the bond as a spring and the molecular vibration as the spring's simple harmonic motion.

02

Determining the effective mass of nitrogen molecule.

The vibrational energy of the photons can be expressed as follow:

螖贰vib=h

Here,is the effective spring constant andis the effective mass.

The expression for the effective mass of the nitrogen molecule is

=m1m2m1+m2

Here, m1 is atomic mass for carbon (12.011u), m2is the atomic mass for the oxygen(15.999u)

Substitute 12.011u for m1, 15.999u for m2 in the above equation, and solve for .

=(12.011u)(15.999u)12.011u+15.999u=6.861u=(6.861u)1.661027kg1u=1.141026kg

03

Determining number of rotational levels would there be between the ground vibrational state and the first excited vibrational state

The difference of the energies of the first two vibrational modes is

E1,0E0,0=1+12h12h=32h12h=3212h=h

Substitute 1.0551034Js for h, 1860N/m for K, 1.141026kgfor in the above equation, and solve for (E1,0E0,0).

E1,0E0,0=(1.0551034Js)1860鈥塏/尘1.141026kg=4.261020J...(i)

The rotational energy for level l can be expressed as follow:

El=h2[l(l+1)]2渭补2

Now solving that equation for El,

El=(1.0551034Js)22(1.141026kg)(0.113109m)2[l(l+1)]=(3.831023J)[l(l+1)]

Compare above equation with equation (i),

(3.831023J)[l(l+1)]=4.261020Jl(l+1)=4.261020J3.831023J=1112=332

From the above equation, we conclude that the value of thel is approximately 33, so there are about 33 rotational modes between the first two vibrational modes.

Explain the dependence of conductivity on temperature for conductors and for semiconductors.

Electron affinity is a property specifying the "appetite" of an element for gaining electrons. Elements, such as fluorine and oxygen that lack only one or two electrons to complete shells can achieve a lower energy state by absorbing an external electron. For instance, in uniting an electron with a neutral chlorine atom, completing its n = 3 shell and forming a CI ion, 3.61 eV of energy is liberated. Suppose an electron is detached from a sodium atom, whose ionization energy is 5.14 eV.Then transferred to a (faraway) chlorine atom.

(a) Must energy on balance be put in by an external agent, or is some energy actually liberated? If so How much?

(b) The transfer leaves the sodium with a positive charge and the chlorine with a negative. Energy can now be extracted by allowing these ions to draw close forming a molecule. How close must they approach to recover the energy expended in part (a)?

(c)The actual separation of the atoms in a NaCl molecule is 0.24 nm. How much lower in energy is the molecule than the separated neutral atoms?
