Covalent bonds in a molecule absorb radiation in the IR region and vibrate at characteristic frequencies.
(a) The C_O bond absorbs radiation of wavelength 9.6 μm. What frequency (in s⁻¹) corresponds to that wavelength?

Respuesta :

The frequency for the given condition is ν = 3.1 × 10¹³ s⁻¹

We can solve problems by  the following expression.

c = λ × ν

ν = c / λ

ν = (3.000 × 10⁸ m/s) / (9.6 × 10⁻⁶ m)

ν = 3.1 × 10¹³ s⁻¹

A covalent bond is formed when two atoms exchange one or even more pairs of electrons. The two nucleus are simultaneously drawing these electrons to them. When the gap between both the electronegativity values of two atoms is too tiny for a transfer of electrons to take place to create ions, a covalent bond is formed.

An electron exchange that results in the formation of electron pairs among atoms is known as a covalent bond. When atoms share electrons, a permanent equilibrium of the repulsive and attractive forces between them is known as covalent bonding. These electron pairs are also known as bonds or shared pairs.
