30
linear polyatomic fundamental molecular vibration
3N-5
31
nonlinear polyatomic fundamental molecular vibrations
3N-6
32
of the possible fundamental molecular vibrations, how many are caused by bond stretching?
N-1
33
of the possible fundamental molecular vibrations, how many will be caused by bond bending
2N-5 nonlinear, 2N-4 linear
34
molecular motion in which all atoms move in phase and with the same frequency
normal modes of vibration
35
types of normal mode molecular vibrations: stretching
symmetric and asymmetric
36
types of normal mode molecular vibrations: bending
in plane rocking, in plane scissoring, out of plane wagging, out of plane twisting
37
strength of polarity in chemical bond described by
the dipole moment
38
chemical bonds and vibrations can be described on the basis of
molecular symmetry relative to a symmetry element in the molecule
39
in order to absorb IR radiation, molecular vibration must
cause a change in the permanent dipole moment either parallel or perpendicular to a symmetry element in molecule
40
is symmetric stretching vibration ir active
no
41
IR activity requires
change in permanent dipole moment of the chemical bond
42
very strong in IR spectrum
polar bonds with large dipole moments
43
non polar bonds in IR spectrum
weak or absent
44
when harmonic oscillator condition is relaxed
overtone vibrations become permissible
45
also appear due to anharmonicity
combination and difference bands
46
in addition to overtone vibrations, these bands also appear due to anharmonicity
combination and difference
47
appear at the value due to the sum of 2+ fundamental molecular vibrations
combination bands
48
arise from ground vibrational levels
combination bands
49
binary combination level involves
2 different normal coordinates with nonzero quantum numbers
50
1 photon excites 2 different vibrations simultaneously if
that photon has an energy approx. equal to the sum of energies needed to excite them separately
51
do not arise from fundamental molecular vibrations
difference bands
52
difference bands vs combination band strength
difference are weaker
53
difference bands at low temps
disappear
54
difference transition occurs from
excited level of one transition to that of another
55
intensity of difference transition varies with
the population of the excited state
56
when the energy of an overtone or combo band happens to have the same value as the energy of a fundamental vibration
accidental degeneracy
57
Fermi resonance
accidental degeneracy results in sometimes 2 relatively strong bands where only one fundamental was expected; two observed occur at higher and lower energies than the expected
58
two energy levels in fermi resonance interact
on quantum mechanical level due to anharmonic terms in potential energy
59
does fermi resonance energy difference have to be big
no
60
vibrations in fermi resonance should be
able to couple via anharmonic terms, with overtone and fundamental of same symmetry
61
vibrations which involve large amplitudes of isotopically labelled atom should
shift by the greatest amount
62
isotopic mass difference vs wavenumber shift
larger IMD greater WNS
63
For H-D substitution new vibrational wavenumber of D substituted bond will always
be shifted to lower energy relative to H sub species by factor of 1/sqrt2
64
certain sub molecular groups of atoms consistently produce vibrational bands in characteristic frequency regions of vibrational spectrum

65
what causes group frequencies
