Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 53P
(a) Consider a carbon atom in its ground state. Would such an atom offer a satisfactory model for the carbon of methane? If not, why not? (Hint: Consider whether a ground state carbon atom could be tetravalent, and consider the bond angles that would result if it were to combine with hydrogen atoms.)
(b) Consider a carbon atom in the excited state:

QUESTION 4
(d) Principles of quantum mechanics: Topics 7D - 7F in Atkins
The three basic modes of motion of quantum theory, namely translation (motion through space),
vibration and rotation, all play an important role in chemistry because they are ways in which
molecules store energy. Discuss this quantum theory of motion in terms of (translation, vibrational
and rotational motion).
