- 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 quantum numbers. a (5,4,0)(3,6,0)b (8,2,2)(9,2,2) c (7,4,2)(7,4,2)d (4,2,5)(3,2,5)arrow_forwardWhat is the physical explanation of the difference between a particle having the 3-D rotational wavefunction 3,2 and an identical particle having the wavefunction 3,2?arrow_forwardRotational spectra are affected slightly by the fact that different isotopes have different masses. Suppose a sample of the common isotope 1H35Cl is changed to 1H37Cl. (a) By what fraction is the molecule’s rotational inertia different? (The bond length is 0.127 nm in each case.) (b) What is the change in energy of theℓ = 1 to theℓ = 0 transition if the isotope is changed?arrow_forward

- 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.arrow_forwardButadiene can be roughly modeled as a linear “box” with L = 0.424 nm. There are four electrons, two of which can go in each particle in a box state (two electrons in nX= 1; two electrons in nX= 2). The lowest excitation involves promoting an electron from nX= 2 to nX= 3. What is the energy of that excitation?arrow_forwardA rotating methane molecule is described by the quantum numbers J, MJ, and K.
