Question
What is the reduced mass of $^{14} \mathrm{N}^{16} \mathrm{O} ?$ What is its moment of inertia if $R_{\mathrm{e}}=115.1 \mathrm{pm} ?$ Using equation $9.144,$ find the energies of the first three levels of rotational motion.
Step 1
The formula for reduced mass is given by $\mu = \frac{m_1 m_2}{m_1 + m_2}$, where $m_1$ and $m_2$ are the masses of the two atoms. Show more…

Calculate the energies of the first four rotational levels of 1H^127I free to rotate in three dimensions; use for its moment of inertia I = μR^2, with μ = mHmI/(mH + mI) and R = 160 pm. Use integer relative atomic masses for this estimate.
