Discuss the differences between the rotational and vibrational energy levels of the deuterium (“heavy hydrogen”) molecule D2 and those of the ordinary hydrogen molecule H2. A deuterium atom has twice the mass of an ordinary hydrogen atom.
Obtain the expression for the rotational kinetic energy of the molecule.
Cold interstellar molecular clouds often contain the molecule cyanogen (CN), whose first rotational excited states have an energy of 4.7x 10-4 eV (above the ground state). There are actually three such excited states, all with the same energy. In 1941, studies of the absorption spectrum of starlight that passes through these molecular clouds showed that for every ten CN molecules that are in the ground state, approximately three others are in the three first excited states (that is, an average of one in each of these states). To account for this data, astronomers suggested that the molecules might be in thermal equilibrium with some "reservoir" with a well-defined temperature. What is that temperature?*

They can't move to another location on the surface, but they can rotate (see sketch at right). It turns out that the amount of rotational kinetic energy each NO, group can have is required to be a multiple of ɛ, where ɛ=1.0 x 10 -24 J. In other words, each NO, group could have ɛ of rotational kinetic energy, or 2ɛ, or 3ɛ, and so forth – but it cannot have just any old amount of rotational kinetic energy. Suppose the total rotational kinetic energy in this system is initially known to be 84ɛ.
