For triatomic molecules (i.e., molecules that contain three atoms) such as difluorine monoxide, F2O, there are only two possible molecular geometries, linear or bent.

a. Draw the Lewis structure for F2O (O is the central atom), and predict the molecular geometry using the VSEPR model.

b. Could infrared spectroscopy be used to confirm the molecular geometry that is predicted using the VSEPR model? That is, could the infrared spectrum for F2O be used to determine whether the molecule is linear or bent? Explain your reasoning.

Doppler spectral line broadening is caused by the fact that the velocity of atoms or molecules relative to the observer follows a Maxwell distribution. The effect is dependent on temperature. Hence it serves as a thermometer to determine the temperature of hot gases, such as in distant stars as well as the relative motion of the light source (away or approaching) the Earth observer. Derive the distribution of the intensity of spectral line and show how the line width is...

a) Langevin theory of paramagnetism assumes that atoms or molecules with magnetic moment do not interact with each other and are only affected by the applied field and thermal provocations. That would cause Curie's law. In 1907, Pierre Weiss explained that each magnetic moment interacts with each other. He suggested that this interaction could be explained by an imaginary molecular field (Hm = ?M). By using molecular field expression derive ?= C/T-θ for magnetic susceptibility. b) Plot the temperature-dependent curves...
