vibrational modes
vibration patterns in complex molecules
Frequency of vibration depends on
mass of two atoms and bond strength
bond vibration correspond to which section of electromagnetic spectrum?
Infrared (IR)
2 formulas for finding number of possible vibration modes
3N-6 where N is greater than 2
3N-5 where N is describing a group of linear molecules
fingerprint region
In an IR spectrum, the region of 1400 to 400 cm-1 where more complex vibration
patterns, caused by the motion of the molecule as a whole
Equation to calculate vibration frequency
where k is force strength (N)
μ (mu) is reduced mass (kg)
reduced mass formula
make sure + symbol in right place; A formula to remove translations and rotations
mu needs to be kg, so use amu when plugging in numbers and convert to kg after
