Step 1
Step 1: The average interaction energy between two dipoles is given by: $U = -\frac{2\mu^2}{3(4\pi\epsilon_0)^2 r^6 k_B T}$ where: $\mu$ is the dipole moment $r$ is the separation between the dipoles $k_B$ is the Boltzmann constant $T$ is the Show moreā¦

Energy of Interaction of Point Charges Coulomb's Law yields an expression for the energy of interaction for a pair of point charges: V = 2.31 x 10^-19Q1Q2 / r V is the energy (in J) required to bring the two charges from infinite distance separation to distance r (in nm). Q1 and Q2 are the charges in terms of electrons. (i.e. the constant in the above expression is 2.31Ć10^-19 J nm electrons^-2) For a group of "point" charges (e.g. ions) the total energy of interaction is the sum of the interaction energies for the individual pairs. Calculate the energy of interaction for the linear arrangement of ions shown in the diagram below. d = 0.215 nm

The potential energy of diatomic molecule is given in terms of the interatomic distance r by the relation U(r) = -a/r^2 + b/r^10. Calculate the equilibrium spacing of the two atoms and the lattice when a=1.44x10-39 J/m^2 and b=2.19x10-115 J/m^10.

A system has 5 energy levels, A, B, C, D, E, with degeneracies 3, 5, 2, 1, 1, respectively. The energies of the states in cm^-1 are EA = 0.5, EB = 4.1, EC = 120.3, ED = 391.1, EE = 865.7. At a given temperature the populations of the energy levels is determined to be: PA=28.8%, PB=47.8%, PC=15.9%, PD=5.1%, PE=2.4%. What is the mean energy, of the system in cm^-1? (report your answer to 2 decimal places).
