Chapter 14, Problem 14.53E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The force constant $k$ for the molecule $\text{BrF}$ is to be calculated. The ground state vibrational energy of the $\text{BrF}$ molecule is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The vibrational frequency for any molecule is related to its force constant and reduced mass. The vibrational frequency is directly proportional to the force constant of the molecule and inversely proportional to the reduced mass of the molecule.
