Chapter 42, Problem 42.8E
Two atoms of cesium (Cs) can form a Cs2 molecule. The equilibrium distance between the nuclei in a Cs2 molecule is 0.447 nm. Calculate the moment of inertia about an axis through the center of mass of the two nuclei and perpendicular to the line joining them. The mass of a cesium atom is 2.21 × 10−25kg, of each atom (use the result of Exercise 42.9); (c) the rotational period (the time for one rotation)?

The two nuclei in the carbon monoxide (CO) molecules are 0.1128 nm apart. The mass of the carbon atom is 1.993x10-26 kg. The mass of the oxygen atom is 2.656x10-26 kg. What is the first excited rotational energy level for the CO molecule? (Give the your answer in meV.)
The two nuclei in the nitric oxide (NO) molecule are 0.1154 nm apart. The mass of the most common nitrogen atom is 2.326 * 10-26 kg, and the mass of the most common oxygen atom is 2.656 * 10-26 kg. Find the energies, in meV, of the lowest three rotational energy levels of NO.
Most of the mass of an atom is in its nucleus. Model the mass distribution in a diatomic molecule as two spheres of uniform density, each of radius 2.00 x 10-15 m and mass 1.00 x 10-26 kg, located at points along the y axis as in 42.5a, and separated by 2.00 x 10-10 m. Rotation about the axis joining the nuclei in the diatomic molecule is ordinarily ignored because the first excited state would have an energy that is too high to access. To see why, calculate the ratio of the energy of the first excited state for rotation about the y axis to the energy of the first excited state for rotation about the x axis.
