A Hydrochloric Acid Molecule Consists of a Lightweight Hydrogen Atom

Question 107

Multiple Choice

A hydrochloric acid molecule consists of a lightweight hydrogen atom bound to a much more massive chlorine atom. The interaction between the atoms is not purely attractive, but has a potential energy function that has a valley whose bottom corresponds to a certain nonzero distance between the atoms. If we ignore rotations, which of the idealized models in this chapter might best describe this molecule?


A) The quanton in a box model
B) The Bohr model
C) The simple harmonic oscillator model
