The key feature of Bohr's theory of spectrumof hydrogen atomis the quantization of angular momentum whenanelectron is revolving around a proton. We will extend this to a general rotational motion to find quantized rotational energy of a diatomic molecule assuming it to be rigid. The rule to be applied is Bohr's quantization condition.

Question 55

In a CO molecule, the distance between C (mass = 12 a.m.u.) and O (mass = 16 a.m.u.), where 1 a.m.u. $$= \frac{5}{3} \times 10^{-27}$$ kg, is close to
