Consider the 'H35CI molecule. Assume that the vibrational motion of the molecule can be modeled as a harmonic oscillator with a force constant 480 N/m. The molecule is originally in its N3D4 excited vibrational state and transitions to the ground vibrational state, emitting a photon. Now consider an identical molecule, but where the hydrogen is replaced by Tritium (H). If this new molecule undergoes the same transition as 'H35CI, calculate the magnitude of the energy difference between the energies of the emitted photons. Enter your final answer of the energy difference in eV (enter your final answer as a positive number).
Electronic Transitions and Spectroscopy
The term “electronic” connotes electron, and the term “transition” implies transformation. In a molecule, the electrons move from a lower to a higher energy state due to excitation. The two energy states, the ground state and the excited state are the lowest and the highest energy states, respectively. An energy change is observed with this transition, which depicts the various data related to the molecule.
Photoelectron Spectroscopy
Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) is a part of experimental chemistry. It is a technique used in laboratories that involves projecting intense beams of radiation on a sample element. In response, the element ejects electrons for which the relative energies are measured.
