Chapter 18, Problem 18.14E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of qelect for O2, whose ground electronic state has a degeneracy of 3 is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The point at which the bond between the two atoms become nonexistent and the molecule exits as two separated atoms is known as dissociation limit. The relation between D0 and De is given by the formula,

D0=De12hv

Where,

D0 represents dissociation energy.

h is the plank’s constant.

v is vibrational frequency.

De is the minimum potential energy of ground electronic state with respect to the zero point.

Based on data in Table 8.1, estimate (within 30 kJ>mol) thelattice energy for (a) LiBr, (b) CsBr, (c) CaCl2.
The potential energy function for either one of the two atoms in a diatomic molecule is often approximated by U(x) a b = x22 x11 where x is the distance between the atoms. a. At what distance of separation does the potential energy have a local minimum (not at x = Express your answer algebraically. xmin b. What is the force on an atom at this separation?
