Question
Chapter 16, Problem 16.7QAP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The number of vibrational modes and IR absorption bands of sulfur dioxide molecule should be determined.
Concept introduction:
When the atom of a molecule moves, there is translation and rotation in the molecule. The uncertainty principle of Heisenberg states that the atoms of the molecule are in the continuous motion. The modes of vibrations may be IR or Raman active.

- What is the meaning of the term wavenumber, which is used in IR spectroscopy? OIt is the total number of wavelengths of IR radiation absorbed by the compound. It is the number of waves that pass through a particular point each second. It is another term for the energy of radiation.

The lowest unoccupied molecularorbital in a molecule is called the LUMO. Experimentally,one can measure the difference in energy betweenthe HOMO and LUMO by taking the electronic absorption(UV-visible) spectrum of the molecule. Peaks in theelectronic absorption spectrum can be labeled as p2p9p2p*,s2s9s2s*, and so on, corresponding to electrons being promotedfrom one orbital to another. The HOMO-LUMO transitioncorresponds to molecules going from their groundstate to their first excited state.
