Problem 10DQ

The air you are breathing contains primarily nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2). Many of these molecules are in excited rotational energy levels (l = 1, 2, 3, c), but almost all of them are in the vibrational ground level (n = 0). Explain this difference between the rotational and vibrational behaviors of the molecules.
