Vibrational Soectroscopy Flashcards
How do atoms vibrate around equilibrium position
Like springs
What is Hookes law
F=-k (r-re)
What is potential energy
1/2k(r-re)
What is the force constant
Stiffness of spring/ strength of bond
What does potential energy mean
Energy due to position
What is total energy at turning points and equilibrium distance
PE and KE
If a bond is weak what is k (force constant)
Small
What is vvib
1/2pi roots/u
How are energy levels spaced
Moderately
What region is vibrational in
Infra red
What is a diatomic harmonic oscillator
A diatomic that obeys hookes law
What is Ev =
(V+0.5)vibrational wave number
What is V
Vibrational quantum number
What is vibrational wavenumber
Dependent on molecule
What is delta Ev
Vibrational wavenumber
