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)?
