Question
Chapter 14, Problem 14.81E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The number of IR-active vibrations for F2O is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The complex vibrations exhibit by the polyatomic molecule is known as normal modes of vibrations. The vibrational modes of a molecule are IR or Raman active. If a molecule has centre of symmetry, then the modes which are IR-active will be Raman inactive and the modes that are IR-inactive will be Raman active. The total number of vibrational degrees of freedom for nonlinear molecule is represented by 3N6.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The number of IR-active vibrations for NCl3 is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The complex vibrations exhibit by the polyatomic molecule is known as normal modes of vibrations. The vibrational modes of a molecule are IR or Raman active. If a molecule has centre of symmetry, then the modes which are IR-active will be Raman inactive and the modes that are IR-inactive will be Raman active. The total number of vibrational degrees of freedom for nonlinear molecule is represented by 3N6.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The number of IR-active vibrations for N(CH3)3 is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The complex vibrations exhibit by the polyatomic molecule is known as normal modes of vibrations. The vibrational modes of a molecule are IR or Raman active.
