Gerhard Herzberg who won a Nobel prize for Chemistry for his work concerned atomic and molecular spectroscopy, and used these techniques to determine the structures
of diatomic and polyatomic molecules, was a «dolt and a charlatan»?
I. Spectra

The symmetries
of those diatomic molecules prevent the absorption (and therefore emission) of infrared.
A result particularly important is the laser cooling of the vibration internal degree of freedom
of diatomic molecules that has been obtained during her recent visit at the Laboratoire Aimè Cotton, Orsay [Science 321, 232 (2008), paper selected by Nature Photonics (VOL 2, September 2008, page 519) as Research Highlight and by Science (VOL 322, 10 October 2008, page 203: P.L. Gould «Cold Molecules Beat the Shakes») as Perspectives in Physics.
Under normal conditions hydrogen is a gas consisting
of diatomic molecules.
The outcomes of a number of different chemical reactions, such as ionization vs. dissociation
of diatomic sodium, have employed this method.
The forces holding diiodine molecules in the crystal are modest, and liquid iodine is not stable at ordinary temperatures and pressures, so that solid iodine sublimes to give a rather large concentration
of diatomic molecules in the vapor phase.
Not exact matches
Using «fully reciprocal action» as a criterion would qualify a
diatomic molecule like diiodine or, less naively, a set
of molecules in chemical equilibrium, as a model
of an actual entity.
«It has been established that the nitrates, which is a form
of nitrogen, comes from fixation
of atmospheric
diatomic nitrogen in the atmosphere during meteorite impacts, which is consistent with the data that we obtained through the SAM analyses, so this may be the main source
of fixed nitrogen on Mars,» says Javier Martín - Torres.
As a result, only a small fraction
of atomic elements, along with a select few
diatomic molecules, have been cooled in this manner.
Research published in Nature Communications shows how scientists can measure, in real - time, the time that it takes and the separation distance
of two atoms when the bond is broken in the simplest
diatomic molecule.
These methods, combined with his definitive studies
of perturbations in
diatomic molecular spectra, have changed the way we think about molecular complexity
This breaks the
diatomic bond
of the iodine and each atom retains an electron, giving it an electromagnetic charge.
It's available 24/7 and cheaper than paying a tutor by Spectroscopy - Energy states

diatomic molecules: For any real molecule, absolute separation
of the different motions is seldom encountered since

Diatomic molecules (like N2 or O2) have stretching modes (with the distance between the two molecules expanding and contracting), but these require a lot
of energy (so they absorb only at higher energies.
Diatomic molecules like O2 and N2 are transparent to that radiation and will never fit the definition
of a greenhouse gas, no matter that they absorb heat via other means.
One
of the ways our world differs from the quantum world shows up in these rotations and vibrations
of «
diatomic molecules» — molecules made up
of two atoms: while human dancers can spin or move back and forth as fast or slow as they wish (within the limits
of their physical capabilities), molecules can only vibrate or rotate at specific rates — their motions are «quantized.»
Many molecules are «
diatomic» — made up
of two atoms.
But
diatomic molecules need not be symmetrical — carbon monoxide, the deadly component
of car exhaust, is made up
of one atom
of carbon and one (slightly more massive) atom
of oxygen.
Higher up, the composition
of the atmosphere changes too — less CO2 and more
diatomic species like N2, which have a higher Cp / Cv and therefore higher lapse rates.
Oh yes, there also has to be a change in the dipole moment between the two levels
of the transition which explains why homonuclear
diatomics (N2, O2, H2) don't absorb in the infrared.
With ideal
diatomic gases they are, and worse, the dependency itself depends on the temperature
of the gas and the energy required to excite rotations vs vibrations.
is the mean speed
of the molecules, related to their temperature but not the same way for monatomic and
diatomic ideal gases and hence expressed as a parameter by itself.
Molecules like N2 and O2 (99 %
of Earth's atmosphere) can't absorb longwave radiation because identical
diatomic molecules don't bend (they are symmetric).
I'll revise it tomorrow for
diatomic (after I read up on rotational degrees
of freedom; I'm a layman).
Now, there's around four times as much nitrogen in the atmosphere as oxygen and since nitrogen in its
diatomic form is difficult to break to form compounds, then it could be said to approximate to an ideal gas (elastic collisions not inelastic), and, oxygen and nitrogen don't combine in the atmosphere but mix, and, oxygen is practically the same weight as nitrogen, and, oxygen has practically the same heat capacity, then, not a bad approximation to the ideal gas
of Jelbring's thought experiment.
The pattern
of temperature increase with height in the stratosphere is the result
of solar heating as ultraviolet radiation in the wavelength range
of 0.200 to 0.242 micrometre dissociates
diatomic oxygen (O2).
So, Chapman proposed that as soon as one
of these oxygen atoms («free radicals») collided with an ordinary
diatomic oxygen molecule, they would react together to form a single triatomic ozone molecule (Figure 18).
Similarly, all
of the nitrogen is
diatomic.
NOTE: Homonuclear
diatomic molecules N2 and O2 don't have neither rotational nor vibrational transitions (because
of their symmetrical structures) = > no radiative activity in the infrared.
It is an allotrope
of oxygen that is much less stable than the
diatomic allotrope O 2, breaking down in the lower atmosphere to normal dioxygen.
Assuming air (a
diatomic gas with 5 degrees
of partitioning), for a given delta - h, the thermal energy will be reduced by 1 / 5th
of the energy required to lift molecules by that delta - h.
«We derive a version
of the virial theorem that is applicable to
diatomic planetary atmospheres that are in approximate thermal equilibrium at moderate temperatures and pressures and are sufficiently thin such that the gravitational acceleration can be considered constant.
The two atoms in these
diatomic molecules are bound tightly together and are therefore incapable
of absorbing significant infrared radiation.
N2 and O2 are 99 %
of the atmosphere and are
diatomic.
It reaches its surface temperature
of 740 K by using only trace amounts
of carbon monoxide (a strongly absorbing greenhouse despite being
diatomic, but at different wavelengths from CO2) and sulfur dioxide.
The quantum theory
of molecular vibrations says there should be no (significant) contributions from
diatomic N2 in the IR range.
Most
of the gas in our atmosphere is
diatomic O - O or N - N.
