a. Sketch the expected shape of the pure vibrational absorption spectrum of a diatomic molecule that is well described by the harmonic oscillator model (absorbance as a function of frequency). (We are pretending that there are no rotations occurring for this question. For real diatomic molecules, if they are IR active, there will also be rotational excitations and therefore a rovibrational spectrum.) In what portion of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum would you expect this absorption to occur?
b. Sketch the expected shape of the pure rotational absorption spectrum of a diatomic molecule that is well described by the rigid-rotor model (absorbance as a function of frequency). In what portion of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum would you expect this absorption to occur?

The vibrational absorption spectrum of a diatomic molecule in the harmonic oscillator approximation consists of just one line whose frequency is given by, ν = 1 k . The bond 2π μ length of 12C14N is 117 pm and the force constant is 1630 N m-1. Predict the vibration-rotation spectrum of 12C14N within the harmonic oscillator rigid rotor approximation
10. In the vibrational rotational spectrum of a diatomic molecule, the second line of the P branch (J" = 2 = 1) is observed at 3100 cm and the third line of the R branch (J" = 2- )' = 3) is observed at 3160.cm! Assuming the molecule behaves as a rigid rotor and a harmonic oscillator, calculate the rotational constant (R) and the fundamental vibration wavenumber (V) for the molecule. Hint, you need two equations to solve for the...
In the ro-vibrational model for spectra of diatomic molecules, the total rotational and vibrational energy for a given state is: Évj = ū(v + 3) + BJC +1) (Equation 1) where v is the vibrational quantum number and J is the rotational quantum number. Complete the following steps to create a model energy level diagram for a hypothetical diatomic molecule with ✓ = 2000 cm-1 and B = 1 cm-1. i) Draw a horizontal line to represent the ground vibrational...
1) Assuming that a diatomic molecule can be approximated by a rigid rotor with a inertia momen- tum I = 10–38g cm², calculate the rotational frequency of the radiation that will cause a transition from the J = 1 state to the J = 2 state. In which region of the electromagnetic spectrum this transition will be found?
