Rotational energy, and

Equation XVI-21 provides for the general case of a molecule having n independent ways of rotation and a moment of inertia 7 that, for an asymmetric molecule, is the (geometric) mean of the principal moments. The quantity a is the symmetry number, or the number of indistinguishable positions into which the molecule can be turned by rotations. The rotational energy and entropy are [66,67]...

This contrasts with relation (5.16), which led to a non-physical conservation law for J. Eqs. (5.28) and Eq. (5.30) make it possible to calculate in the high-temperature limit the relaxation of both rotational energy and momentum, avoiding any difficulties peculiar to EFA. In the next section we will find their equilibrium correlation functions and determine corresponding correlation times. 

The physical meaning of and f L.., is obvious they govern the relaxation of rotational energy and angular momentum, respectively. The former is also an operator of the spectral exchange between the components of the isotropic Raman Q-branch. So, equality (7.94a) holds, as the probability conservation law. In contrast, the second one, Eq. (7.94b), is wrong, because, after substitution into the definition of the angular momentum correlation time... 

The thermochemistry parameters are some of the most useful results of quantum computation. The important features of the overall architecture of a molecule include the connectivity or topology, flexibility, vibration modes and frequencies, shape, moments of inertia, rotational energies and frequencies, and the overall symmetry. The shape of a molecule plays an important part in many of its properties. Some of the most interesting and easy to describe are the long and narrow rod-like eicosane, C20H44, the disk-shaped coronene, C24H12, and the sphere-shaped methane, CH4, adamantine, C10H16, and buckminsterfullerene, C6o-... 

In a diatomic molecule with rotation energy and rotation quantum number /, there is an energy proportional to J J + 1), and there are 2/ + 1 configurations (referred to as degeneracy). The probability of finding a molecule in energy state J becomes... 

Rotational energy and transitions If a molecule has a permanent dipole moment, its rotation in space produces an oscillating electric field this can also interact with electromagnetic radiation, resulting in light absorption. 

Eqn (9-3.1) can then be separated into three eigenvalue equations for the three types of motion. The three eigenvalues will be Wu (translational energy , W 1 (rotational energy) and Wyih (vibrational energy)... 

Vibrational energies are much greater than rotational energies, and the relative changes in vibrational frequencies on going from the gas phase to... 

When the quasi-diatomic Franck-Condon model was compared with the experimental results it was found that it could predict the observed vibrational distribution as well as the observation that the translational energy is much greater than the rotational energy. The theory could not, however, predict the observed proportionality between the average rotational energy and the available energy. A simple classical description of the impulsive dissociation of a rotating molecule does predict this observed linear proportionality. 

For di-atomic gases A gas where molecule has more than one atom will have rotational energy and vibrational energy besides the translational or kinetic energy. For di-atomic molecule, this velocity will be only in one direction, i.e., parallel to the axis of the particle. So, such a molecule possesses two degrees of freedom, one for potential energy and the other for kinetic energy. 

The first two terms describe the vibrational energy, the next two the rotational energy, and the final term describes the vibration-rotation interaction. 

Table 4 summarizes the results for these reactions, where Ey and r denote the average BaX vibrational and rotational energies and /v,/r and denote the fractions of the total reaction exoergicity that appear as vibration, rotation and translation, respectively. The Ba+HX reactions are characterised by little vibrational and rotational excitation of the products, and there is a positive correlation of fy with cross section for the reaction Ba+DCl is only 60 % of that for Ba+HCl. A similar result has been obtained for the K+HBr and K+DBr reactions. ...
