In a molecule of hydrogen iodide HI (HI is used in organic and inorganic synthesis as one of the main sources of iodine and as a reducing agent) the vibrational frequency of the molecule is 6.69x10^13 Hz. Iodine is much more heavier than hydrogen, so I can be considered immobile compared to H. Determine the expected value of the potential energy for the hydrogen atom in this molecule in the ground state. Use this to calculate the expected value of the kinetic energy.
Atomic Structure
The basic structure of an atom is defined as the component-level of atomic structure of an atom. Precisely speaking an atom consists of three major subatomic particles which are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Many theories have been stated for explaining the structure of an atom.
Shape of the D Orbital
Shapes of orbitals are an approximate representation of boundaries in space for finding electrons occupied in that respective orbital. D orbitals are known to have a clover leaf shape or dumbbell inside where electrons can be found.
