Morse curves

The Morse curve describes the potential energy V of a diatomic molecule as a function of interatomic distance x.

V = De [1-exp(-bx)]2

-2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 70

De = 5 b = 0.5

• If the atoms go far apart the bond breaks.

• It is impossible to press the atoms close together. Enormous amounts of energy are needed.

-2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 70

De = 10 b = 0.4

Zero = equilibrium distance

This was diatomic molecules

• Polyatomic molecules:

M=3N-6 quantized vibration modes

M=3N-5 linear molecules (N=1)

• N=3 , M=3 H2O, H2S, SO2

• N=4 , M=6 etc

Triatomic molecules

• G(a,b,c)=v1(a+1/2) + v2(b+1/2) + v3(c+1/2)

• Energy levels

• a=b=c=0 (0,0,0)

• a=1 b=c=0 (1,0,0)

• a=2 b=c=0 (2,0,0)

• a=0 b=1 c=0 etc (0,1,0)

Intensity

• Some transitions are more probable

• Gives more intense bands

• Fundamentals in Gas phase

• Overtones in liquid,solid

• Combination bands in liquid, solid

Hot bands

• Only exist because of thermal excitation

• Boltzmann

• Ne = No exp(-E/kT)

• Ne number excited, No number ground

• k Boltzmann constant 1.3806503*10-23 J/K
