Problem P11C.6

The Morse potential energy (eqn 11C.7) is very useful as a simple representation of the actual molecular potential energy. When $${ }^{85} \mathrm{Rb}^{1} \mathrm{H}$$ was studied, it was found that $$\tilde{v}=936.8 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}$$ and $$x_{\mathrm{e}} \tilde{v}=14.15 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}$$. Plot the potential energy curve from 50pm to 800pm around $$R_{e}$$ = 236.7pm. Then go on to explore how the rotation of a molecule may weaken its bond by allowing for the kinetic energy of rotation of a molecule and plotting $$V^{*}$$ = V + hc BJ(J + 1) with $$\tilde{B}=\hbar / 4 \pi c \mu R^{2}$$. Plot these curves on the same diagram for J = 40, 80, and 100, and observe how the dissociation energy is affected by the rotation. Hints: Taking $$\tilde{B}=3.020 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}$$ as the equilibrium bond length will greatly simplify the calculation. The mass of $${ }^{85} \mathrm{Rb}$$ is 84.9118$$m_{u}$$.

Step 1 of 3

11/3/19 Chem 121 Ch 7 - Atomic radius bonding: one half of distance between covalently bonded nuclei - Nuclear charge and number of protons impact, the bigger the nuclear charge= the bigger attraction for electrons - Shell number: highest n quantum number - Atomic radius DECREASES from left to right across period, more protons increase in nuclear attraction for valence electrons - Atomic radius INCREASES going down each group, eﬀective nuclear charge is the same - Radius: distance between nucleus and valence electrons ATOMIC RADIUS EXAMPLES - Largest atomic radius; F Ge K Rb Br - Rb is the largest - In order: F K Ge Br Rb - In order: S SE Te - In order: F Si Ba Ionization energy: ability of an element to lose and electron - Ionization potential: energy needed to remove 1st loosely bound electron - Second ionization energy: energy needed to remove the 2nd - Valence electrons are easier to remove than inner core electrons - Ionization energy INCREASES from left to right IONIZATION ENERGY EXAMPLES - Which atom has the smallest IE - Ba Sr Ca 1 11/3/19 - K Ga As Electron aﬃnities increase from left to right but increases irregularly - The more negative = the more electrons its attracting - It becomes more exothermic as you go from left to right - 2
