Diatomic astatine, At2, is the rarest, heaviest, and largest of the halogens. Astatine has an atomic weight of 210 Daltons, and At2 has a bond
length of 300 pm. Use this information to determine its rotational constant, B, in units of cm-1 (you should keep only two significant figures).
(Note: 1 Dalton = 1.66053 × 10-27 kg, 1 pm = 10–12 m.)
The CO molecule has a dipole moment of 0.480x10-30 C m. Given that its equilibrium bond distance is 212 pm, what is the magnitude of the effective charge that causes this dipole moment? Give your answer in units of the charge of an electron
is the tranfer or sharing valence electrons different than bonding. If so, how?
