The expression for the vibrational term value in cm^(-1) ) for a diatomic
molecule can be written as:
G(v)=widetilde(v)_(e)(v+(1)/(2))-widetilde(v)_(e)x_(e)(v+(1)/(2))^(2).
(a) Define and explain the significance of all the terms in the expression
(b) Derive the general expression for the allowed transitions between
vibrational levels:
widetilde(v)=widetilde(v)_(e)-2widetilde(v)_(e)(v+1).
Hence, from the following data for the separation of vibrational levels in
the ground electronic state of CO, construct a plot to determine the values of
tilde(v)_(e) and x_(e), and estimate a value for the dissociation energy D_(e).

The expression for the vibrational term value (in cm for a diatomic molecule can be written as:
G(v)=v(v+1/2)-vx(v+1/2)2
(a) Define and explain the significance of all the terms in the expression . (5)
(b) Derive the general expression for the allowed transitions between vibrational levels:
0=v.-2v.(v+1).
