Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The vibrational frequencies of carbon tetrachloride in units of
Concept introduction:
A molecule is made up of atoms that are bonded together by covalent bonds. These bonds undergo a to and fro movement to vibrate. This vibration of the molecule contributes to the overall partition function of the system. The vibrational partition function of the polyatomic molecule is represented as,

Explain the importance of the quantization of vibrational, rotational, and translational energy as it relates to the behavior of atoms and molecules.
The vibrational energy levels for XO molecule can be described by the following formula:
E(n) in Joule =
1.88x10-20(n+1/2) – 2.68x10-22(n+1/2)²
where n is the vibrational quantum number. What would be the equilibrium dissociation energy (De) of the XO molecule in a kJ mol-1?
Predict the shape of the nitronium ion, NO2+, from its Lewis structure and the VSEPR model. It has one Raman active vibrational mode at 1400 cm−1, two strong IR active modes at 2360 and 540 cm−1, and one weak IR mode at 3735 cm−1. Are these data consistent with the predicted shape of the molecule? Assign the vibrational wavenumbers to the modes from which they arise.
