The energy expression for various rotational levels of a linear triatomic molecule is the same as that of a diatomic molecule. For 1H12C14N and 2D12C14 N, the rotational constants are 44315.97 MHz and 36207.40 MHz, respectively. Assuming that the bond lengths are independent of isotopic substitution. Calculate the C H and C - N bond lengths.
