Chapter 11, Problem 11D.3ST
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The conclusion has to be given for the observation of band in photoelectron spectrum of water near 7.0eV showing a long vibrational series with spacing 0.125 eV and the occurrence of bending modes of water at 1596 cm1.

Concept Introduction:

The symmetry of H2O is C2V and has a bent structure.  The molecular orbitals are mainly formed from the p orbital of oxygen atoms.  One molecular orbital that is perpendicular to the plane of the molecule has a b1 symmetry in C2V.  The next p orbital is in the plane of the molecule and bisects the HOH bond angle and it has a1 symmetry. The occupancy of electron in a1 molecular orbital determines the HOH bond angle.  The third orbital is perpendicular to the other two orbitals and has  b2 symmetry.

The modes of vibration of H2O are symmetric stretching, asymmetric stretching and bending.
