In an H₂O molecule, the distance of the oxygen from the attached hydrogen atoms is 0.0916 nm, and the angle between the two O-H bonds is 105.8°. If the hydrogen nuclei of a water molecule are detached one after the other, how much minimum work is needed to dismantle a water molecule? (Assume that the end products after the dismantling will be one 02-ion and two H¹+ ions.)

17) Shown below is a structure of seven atoms with a "B" atom in the middle surrounded by "A" atoms. Nearest neighbors are separated by ro. A A A B A A A: 42 x 10-2¹ J B: 7 x 10-21 J C: 30 x 10-21 J D: 15 x 10-21 J E: 5 x 10-21 J A How much energy is required to remove only the B atom from the center, given that the well depth for an A-A pair is 2 x 10-2¹J and for a A-B pair is 5 x 10-2¹J?

You are preparing to compete in the Physics Olympics. Your instructor is coaching you by providing you with challenging problems of the type you might see on an Olympics exam. He comes up with the following problem and gives you 15 minutes to solve it: Imagine a perfectly rigid HCl molecule that does not stretch as it rotates. The equilibrium separation of its ions is 0.127 5 nm. There are two isotopes for chlorine on the sample, Cl-35 and Cl-37. This results in double peaks in the molecular spectrum as shown. (a) Find an expression for the difference in the frequency between the peaks to the right of the gap as a function of the masses of the two chlorine isotopes and the quantum number J. (b) Estimate the difference in frequency numerically for J = 0, without consulting tables. Quick! Get to work!
