Chem 155 Unit 15 274 <strong>of</strong> 31610. Draw a series <strong>of</strong> CO 2 molecules to illustrate theasymmetric stretching mode.O CO O C OOCO11. Is the asymmetric stretch IR active? Why?Yes, because at during the vibration the dipole momentchanges.12. Is the asymmetric stretch Raman active? Why?No, because at during the vibration the polarizability doesnot change. (increase in one CO bond polarizability is<strong>of</strong>f<strong>set</strong> by decrease in the other bond).13. Why is N 2 not a greenhouse gas?Homonuclear diatomics have no dipole moment changeduring their only vibrational mode: symmetric stretch.Page 274 <strong>of</strong> 316
