Chapter 14, Problem 84GP

An oxygen atom at a particular site within a DNA molecule can be made to execute simple harmonic motion when illuminated by infrared light. The oxygen atom is hound with spring-like chemical bond to a phosphorus atom, which rigidly attached to the DNA backbone. The oscillation o the oxygen atom occurs with frequency f = 3.7 × 1013 HZ. If the oxygen atom at this site is chemically replaced with a sulfur atom, the spring constant of the bond i unchanged (sulfur is just below oxygen in the Periodic Table) Predict the frequency for a DNA molecule after the sulfur substitution.

In the methane molecule, CHA, each hydrogen atom is at the corner of a regular tetrahedron with the carbon atom at the center. If one of the C-H is in the direction of A = î +Î+R and an adjacent C-H bond is at the direction B=1-7- R. results to an angular bond of approximately 109° for a static frozen molecule. However, the molecule we can encounter everyday continuously vibrates and interact with the surrounding causing its bond vector to vary slightly. According to a new spectroscopy analysis, the adjacent bond vectors was found to be A = 0.89i + 0.95j + 0.9k B = 1.06i + -1.08j + -0.83k What is the angle (in degrees) between the bonds based on this new data? Note: Only 1% of error is permitted for the correct answer.

In the methane molecule, CH4, each hydrogen atom is at the corner of a regular tetrahedron with the carbon atom at the center. If one of the C-H is in the direction of A =î +Î+k and an adjacent C-H bond is at the direction B=1-7-R. results to an angular bond of approximately 109° for a static frozen molecule. However, the molecule we can encounter everyday continuously vibrates and interact with the surrounding causing its bond vector to vary slightly. According to a new spectroscopy analysis, the adjacent bond vectors was found to be A = 0.99i + 0.98j + 0.97k B = 0.95i + -0.94j + -1.01k What is the angle (in degrees) between the bonds based on this new data?
