Question

What minimum energy is required to excite a vibration in HF?

Express your answer in joules to three significant figures.

En=(n+12)hν is the equation

Answer 1

The energy of a vibrating molecule is quantized much like the energy of an electron in the hydrogen atom. The energy levels of a vibrating molecule are given by the equation: En=(n+21)hv where n is a quantum number with possible values of 1, 2, ... and v is the frequency of vibration.
