When 85Rb1H was studied, it was found that ˜ν = 936.8 cm−1 and x_eν˜ = 14.15 cm−1. Plot the potential energy curve from 50 pm to 800 pm aroundRe = 236.7 pm. Then go on to explore how the rotation of a molecule may weaken its bond by allowing for the kinetic energy of rotation of a molecule and plotting V∗ = V + hcBJ˜ (J + 1) with B˜. Plot these curves on the same diagram for J = 40, 80, and 100, and observe how the dissociation energy is affected by the rotations. Hints: Taking B˜ = 3.020 cm−1 as the equilibrium bond length will greatly simplify the calculation. The mass of 85Rb is 84.9118muarrow_forward
