The number of normal modes of vibration depends on the shape of the molecule, but not on the number of atoms in the molecule.
True
False
The Born-Oppenheimer approximation enables one to specify the angular momentum properties of a molecule.
True
False
However, the molecule we can encounter everyday continuously vibrates and interact with the surrounding causing its bond vector to vary slightly. According to a new spectroscopy analysis, the adjacent bond vectors was found to be
A = 0.82i + 0.99j + 0.84k
B = 1.09i + -1.01j + -0.97k
What is the angle (in degrees) between the bonds based on this new data?
