[QUOTE="fab13, post: 6237321, member: 183596"] [B]Homework Statement:[/B] The rotational energy level of a symmetric molecule like H2 are given by : ##En = n(n + 1)h^{2}/(2J)## where ##J## is the momentum of inertia of the molecule. Compute the energy of the first rotational level in eV. the following information is given : distance between the proton in H2: ##74.14 pm## [B]Relevant Equations:[/B] I have used the following equation for momentum of inertia : ##J=MR^{2}## with ##M## the total mass and ##R## the radius of rotation. I don't know if the value for distance between protons given in the homework is right (##d = 74.14 pm##). Indeed, on the following link : https://brainly.in/question/7147660 , they take a distance equal to ##d = 4\times10^{-10} m##. In all cases, the same formula is applied : ##J=2\,m_{p}\,(\dfrac{d}{2})^{2} = m_{p}\,d^{2}/2## Which value for distance between the 2 protons have I to take ? ##74.14## pm or ##4\times10^{-10} m## ? Thanks for your help. [/QUOTE]
