6) This question is concerned with vibrational spectra (Infrared and Raman). a) How many normal modes of vibration are expected in these molecules? (Show calculations) i) Theobromine (the caffeine-like stimulant that is found in chocolate) b) In the molecular vibration shown here for trans-1,4-dichlorocyclohexane, both chlorine atoms stretch away from the carbon to which they are bonded (arrows). Will this mode be IR active? Will this mode be Raman active? In each case, why or why not? ii) Cyanopolyyne (an organic molecular wire that has been detected spectroscopically in interstellar space, and is postulated to be a precursor to biomolecules: HC=C-C=C-C=N c) Why are CH4 and CO₂ considered greenhouse gases, but O₂ and N₂ are not? d) Are the vibrations shown here a degenerate pair (Yes/No)?

Proton 1 moves with a speed v from theeast coast to the west coast in the continental United States; proton 2 moves with the same speed from the southern United Statestoward Canada. (a) Is the magnitude of the magnetic force experienced by proton 2 greater than, less than, or equal to the forceexperienced by proton 1? (b) Choose the best explanation fromamong the following:I. The protons experience the same force because the magneticfield is the same and their speeds are the same.II. Proton 1 experiences the greater force because it moves atright angles to the magnetic field.III. Proton 2 experiences the greater force because it moves in thesame direction as the magnetic field.
