| 11. | Any non-linear molecule with a degenerate electronic ground state will undergo a geometrical distortion that removes that degeneracy.
|
| 12. | It is a linear molecule that, because of its simplicity, is of interest in a variety of areas.
|
| 13. | However, in practice only the existence of two degrees of rotational freedom for linear molecules will be considered.
|
| 14. | So, you can solve for the N vibrational degrees of freedom for the cases of linear and non-linear molecules.
|
| 15. | During manufacture, the PVA polymer chains are stretched such that they form an array of aligned, linear molecules in the material.
|
| 16. | However, Wendl showed that smaller fragments provide better coverage on small, linear targets because they reduce the edge effect in linear molecules.
|
| 17. | In case of a non-linear molecule, you can chose 3 independent axes of roitation, so you have 3 degrees of freedom for rotation.
|
| 18. | Thus, whereas KSHV genome is circular in the nucleus of latently infected cells, it is packaged into infectious viruses as a linear molecule.
|
| 19. | A linear molecule lies on a single axis and each atom moves on the surface of a sphere around the centre of mass.
|
| 20. | As an example H 2 O, a non-linear molecule, will have 3 ?3 6 = 3 degrees of vibrational freedom, or modes.
