The moment of inertia of water molecule about an axis bisecting the HOH angle is1.91x10-47 kg m2. Its minimum angular momentum about that axis (other than zero) is ℏ. Inclassical terms, how many revolutions per second do the hydrogen atoms make about the axiswhen in that state? Calculate the rotational constant (cm-1) and bond length of H2O. Does the bondlength seem reasonable?
Below is the LCAO for the sp3 hybrid orbital. What is the value for the c²? (The answer mus be a number, not a fraction) Ya = C($25 +02p₂ +$2p, + $2p:) 2Px
(b) Describe the nature and origin of various forces existing between the atoms of a crystal. Explain the formation of a stable bond using the potential energy versus interatomic distance curve. Assume that the potential energy of two particles in the field of each other is given by U(R) = - R where A and B are constants. R9 (i) Show that the particles form a stable compound for R= R. = (9B/A)/8 (R, is equilibrium separation) i) Show that for stable configuration, the energy of attraction is nine times the energy of repulsion. 8A (iii) Show that the potential energy of the system under stable configuration is 9Re
