An
^(1)H^(35)Cl
has a force constant of
516(N)/(m)
. Calculate the vibrational frequency of the molecule in Hz . The force constant of the bond in the CO group of a peptide link is about
1.2k(N)/(M)
. At what wavenumber would you expect it to absorb? HINT: use the CO molecule as the effective mass How many normal modes of vibration are there in a) ethyne and b) a protein molecule of 4000 atoms?
