The vibrational partition function for
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 polyatomic molecule is represented as,
