Chapter 11, Problem 11C.3AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The force constant for $\text{C}{\text{l}}_2$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The internal mode of vibration of molecule leads to a periodic change in the internal internuclear separation of a molecule.  Due to this change, the molecules are considered as harmonic oscillators.  The strength of a bond in a bond is measured by force constant.  The force constant of a molecule is related to the effective mass and vibrational frequency.  The vibrational energy of a molecule is given by the equation as shown below.

  $E_{\nu }=\left(\nu +\frac{1}{2}\right)\hslash \omega$.
