The following are sets of rotational quantum numbers (J,MJ,K). Label each indicated transition as either allowed or forbidden. Hint: Remember the rules for allowed values of the various quatum numbers. a (0,0,0)(1,1,0)b (0,0,0)(1,0,0) c (3,2,1)(3,1,1)d (4,4,1)(2,4,1)

An H2 molecule is in its vibrational and rotational ground states. It absorbs a photon of wavelength 2.211 2 μm and makes a transition to the υ = 1, J = 1 energy level. It then drops to the υ = 0, J = 2 energy level while emitting a photon of wavelength 2.405 4 mm. Calculate (a) the moment of inertia of the H2 molecule about an axis through its center of mass and perpendicular to the H–H bond, (b) the vibrational frequency of the H2 molecule, and (c) the equilibrium separation distance for this molecule.
Using the rigid rotor model, calculate the energies in Joules of the first three rotational levels of HBr, using for its moment of inertia I = μR2, with μ = mHmX/(mH + mX) and equilibrium internuclear distance = 1.63 Å. To put these energies into units that make sense to us, convert energy to kJ/mol. (Simply estimate atomic masses from the average atomic weights of the elements given in the periodic table).
