Let's consider the three atoms composing the molecule now have different masses and coordinate, while the axis of rotation is still z axis that is perpendicular to the xy plane. The first atom has a mass of 142.54 kg, with x coordinate at 3 m and y coordinate at 6 m. The second atom has a mass of 82.55 kg, with x coordinate at 1 m and y coordinate at 6 m. The third atom has a mass of 8 kg, with x coordinate at 5 m and y coordinate at 9 m. What is the moment of inertia in unit of kg m2 with respect to the x axis?
To give a helium atom nonzero angular momentum requires about 21.2 eV of energy (that is, 21.2 eV is the difference between the energies of the lowest-energy or ground state and the lowest-energy state with angular momentum). The electron-volt or eV is defined as 1.60 × 10−19 J. Find the temperature T where this amount of energy equals kB T/2. Does this explain why we can ignore the rotational energy of helium for most purposes? (The results for other monatomic gases, and for diatomic gases rotating around the axis connecting the two atoms, have comparable orders of magnitude.)
Although an ordinary H2 molecule consists of two identical atoms, this is not the case for the molecule HD, with one atom of deuterium (Le., heavy hydrogen, 2H). Because of its small moment of inertia, the HD molecule has a relatively large value of E: 0.0057 eV. At approximately what temperature would you expect the rotational heat capacity of a gas of HD molecules to "freeze out," that is, to fall significantly below the constant value predicted by the equipartition theorem?
