• Consider an O2 molecule rotating about its center of mass (as in Fig. 12.26). (a) Derive an expression for its moment of inertia I in terms of m, the mass of an O atom, and R0, the bond length. (b) Use Eq. (12.27) to find the lowest three rotational energy levels in eV. (The bond length of O2 is 0.121 nm.)
