1c - w (rotational spec) Flashcards
energy of a photon can be given by
E = hcv-
E = hc/ wavelength
E = hv
radio frequency range
30Hz –> 300kHz
what are microwaves all about
finding bond lengths etc
describe electromagnetic radiation
2 waves
one flowing towards us
one flowing parallel to us (like a normal wave)
the one wavig towards us // parallel to us is the magnetic frequency oscillation
the one waving parallel to us is the electric field oscillation
rotation of molecules is high or low energy
rotational spec uses microwaves which are low energy and high wavelength
gross selection rule of rotational // microwave spec: aka what is needed // think of grocery store
u need a permanent dipole!! to produce rotational absorptions
what does the dipole moment in rotational spec dictate
it dictates the intensity of the absorption
what does the geometry and mass of the molecule dictate in rotational // microwave spec
it dictates the energy levels
nmr uses what field oscillation
nmr uses msgnetic field oscillation
aka nuclear magnetic resonance
uv-vis uses what field oscillation
it uses the electric field oscillation
energy diff between levels can be given by what
E = hv
describe the point charge thing diagram
as the molecule has a permanant dipole,, as it spins,, the dipole goes with it,,
think of the arrow with the positive end,, as this spins in a circle,, the positive spins with it..
okay so what energy does rotational spec use and what phase must the sample be in
microwaves
must be in gas phase
if the gross selection rule for rotational spec is it needs a permanent electric dipole,, which molecules will be rotational spec active
heteronuclear diatomic!!!
bc they will have 2 different atoms with 2 different electronegativities giving u a permanent dipole
what is the rotational spec selection rule: aka what transition is allowed
J = +- 1
what is J
J is the rotational sspec quantum number
think: jesus turned life around
what do we assume when we start rotational spec
we assume the molecule is a rigid motor: aka the bond lengths do not change!! fixed bond lengths
how can a rigid motor molecule rotate
it has 3 cartesian axis,, the molecule can rotate on all 3 of these
describe the cartesian axis
z is up
y is right
x is towards u
if the moelcule can rotate along all 3 cartesian axis,, what dimension can it rotate in
in 3D
bc it can rotate in all directions along each axis
what is meant by moment of inertia
the torque required for a given angullar acceleration about a rotational axis
aka moment of inertia = what is required to get a moelcule rotating!!1
smt has how many moments of inertia
3!! Ia Ib Ic ,,, one for each axis
linear motors have what moment of inertia
they have 2
they can rotate around the Ib,, and Ic but not the Ia (the y axis) bc that would just remain the same,, the bonds would move. think of the chickens outside the galeria in Poland.
I = 1 = when atoms move
I = 0 = when atoms stay i nthe same place // no moment of inertia.
Ib = Ic
Ia= 0 bc theyre both curvy!!
Ia rotation for inertia is what rotation:
rotation about the bond!!!
spherical motor has what rotation
Ia = Ib = Ic
all rotations change it.
octahedral // tetrahedral
symmetrical rotors have waht rotation
Ia doesnt equal but Ib = Ic
C3v
asymmetrical rotor has what rotation
none of them are equal
ia no Ib no Ic are equal! theyre all different
when atoms move I =
1
when atoms dont move I =
0
describe a heteronuclear bond and what we need to do to find I - moment of inertia
atom,, with mass1 connected by a bond of length r ,, to another atom with mass2
what is c in the heteronuclear bond drawing for inertia + explain where this is and what it is
c = centre of gravity!!
the atoms will have a different mass and this point is where u could hold it for them to be equal like a seesaw. this obvs depends on the mass and isnt in the middle of the bond.
from C –> the atoms on the heteronuclear bond drawing for inertia.
r1
is atom 1 —> C
r2 : atom 2 –> c
r,, in moment of inertia isss
r1 + r2
both distances from separate atoms to centre of gravity , c
what does I equalssss,, the equation
I = reduced mass r ^2
reduced mass = m1 x m2 // m1 + m2
in kg and divided by avo to get mass of one atom
what does I relate to in terms of a rigid motor
it related mass of atoms and the bond lengths!! we say that bond length doesnt change in a rigid motor
to characterise rotational energy,, what must we solve
solve the schrodinger equation for that excited state // rotation
what do we need to solve in the schrodinger equation to find rotational energy
we need to find Ej
