Concept introduction:
A molecule is made up of atoms that are bonded together by covalent bonds. These bonds undergo a to and fro movement to vibrate. This vibration of the molecule contributes to the overall partition function of the system. The vibrational partition function of the diatomic atom at is represented as,

A molecule in a liquid undergoes about 1.0 × 1013 collisions in each second. Suppose that (i) every collision is effective in deactivating the molecule vibrationally and (ii) that one collision in 100 is effective. Calculate the width (in cm−1) of vibrational transitions in the molecule.
Emission of microwave radiation from the J = 10 transition of a
molecule has been detected at 88.63 GHz from a region of interstellar
space in which there is evidence of thermal equilibrium and a temperature
of around 50 K. Estimate the frequency and relative intensity of the
J = 2 → 1 transition of the same molecule.
Vibrations in the diatomic molecule CO can be approximated as a harmonic oscillator, where the angular frequency
w = 6.505 x 1013 Hz and the reduced mass is equal to u = 1.14 × 10-27 kg. Assume the molecule is in its fırst
excited vibrational state. Its vibrational wavefunction can then be written as V1 (x) = (4) /2a xe where
a = . If we were to measure the bond length of the molecule, what is the most likely displacement from the
equilibrium bond distance in the first excited vibrational state? Give your answer in Angstroms [Note: The
equilibrium displacement in the Quantum harmonic oscillator corresponds to r = 0, ie the coordinate x measures
displacement from equilibrium]
