If a diatomic molecule has a vibrational force constant of k=240 kg s-2 and a reduced mass of 1.627x10-27 kg, its vibrational frequency should be (in cm-1): A. 2040
B. 4079
C. 2885
D. 5770
E. 1443

2040 cm-1

Explanation:

The vibrations frequency is obtained from;

v=1/2πc √k/μ

Where;

k= force constant = 240kgs-2

μ= reduced mass = 1.627×10^-27 kg

c= speed of light= 3×10^10cms-1

v= 1/2×3.142×3×10^10√240/1.627×10^-27

v= 5.3×10^-12 × 3.84×10^14

v= 20.4×10^2

v= 2040 cm-1

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
