Hello,
I have a problem in relation to the vibration of a diatomic molecule (PbO), but it has been too long ago since I last had chemistry and physics...
If I look at PbO as a system of 2 masses and 1 spring (a harmonic oscillator), is there a way to know the "spring constant" of this diatomic molecule, for example based on the difference in "Electronegativity" between Pb and O (...or on something else)? I want to calculate the eigenfrequency and energy stored in this diatomic molecule.
Thanks a lot !!
