Q.1: The force constant of the bond in HCl is (516 N/m). Assuming the value of the
force constant does not depend on the mass of the atoms in the molecule, calculate
the fundamental vibrational frequency of each of the following: 'HCl. 'H'Cl and
?H*Cl.
Q.2: The Interatomic Distance in the HCl Molecule The spacing, A(1 /2) between the
lines in the rotational spectrum of HCI(g) is 20cm'.Calculate the distance between
the nuclei (the length of the bond) in the HCl molecule.
4. The n-electron system in benzene may be approximated as a particle-on-a-ring with a radius of r, which is also the
length of the C-C bonds in the ring. This bond length is approximately 1.39 A. The energy levels for the p-o-a-r are given
by:
n'h
E,
,where n = 0, t1, ±2, 13, .
2m,r?
The six r-electrons in benzene fill the (singly degenerate) n 0 level, and the (doubly degenerate) n=t1 level. The first
excited state, then corresponds to exciting an electron from n=1 to n=2.
a) Using the given bond length, calculate the energy change for the benzene molecule as an electron is excited
from n=1 to n=2.
b) Calculate the wavelength of light that benzene would need to absorb to undergo that energy change.
Compare that with the experimental value of 268 nm.
c) In what portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is this wavelength?
d) Using the experimental wavelength from part b above, calculate the effective bond length in benzene.
e) Is the particle-on-a-ring approximation valid? Give a…
