Most of the mass of an atom is in its nucleus. Model the mass distribution in a diatomic molecule as two spheres of uniform density, each of radius 2.00 x 10-15 m and mass 1.00 x 10-26 kg, located at points along the y axis as in 42.5a, and separated by 2.00 x 10-10 m. Rotation about the axis joining the nuclei in the diatomic molecule is ordinarily ignored because the first excited state would have an energy that is too high to access. To see why, calculate the ratio of the energy of the first excited state for rotation about the y axis to the energy of the first excited state for rotation about the x axis.
An isolated LiCl molecule has its chloride ion
(mass = 35 u) at x= 0 pm ,
