Atoms vibrate relative to one another in molecules with the bond acting as a spring.
Consider the H – CI bond, where the heavy Cl atom forms a stationary anchor for the very
light H atom. That is, only the H atom moves, vibrating as a simple harmonic oscillator.
(a) Give the equation that describes the allowed vibrational energy levels of the bond.
(b) The force constant kf for the H – Cl bond is 516.3 N m'1. Given the mass of H equal to
1.7 x 1027 kg, determine the difference in energy (separation) between adjacent energy
levels.
(c) Calculate the zero-point energy of this molecular oscillator.
The graph shows the potential energy curve for a system of two oxygen atoms.
Imagine the two atoms are in a bound state. If they are 0.1 nm apart and have no kinetic energy, what is the minimum amount of energy (in Joules) that needs to be added to the system in order to break the bond?
