DETERMINATION OF RATES OF CHANGE OF POLARIZABILITY FROM RAMAN AND RAYLEIGH INTENSITIES
Keyword(s):
Mean values of the rate of change of polarizability with respect to internuclear distance were determined for several molecules from the ratio of Raman and Ray-leigh intensities in the gas. The values obtained are: hydrogen, 1.2 × 10−16 cm.2; deuterium, 1.1; hydrogen chloride, 1.0; hydrogen bromide, 1.2; nitrogen, 1.6; oxygen, 1.4; carbon dioxide (ν1 vibration), 4.2; methane (ν1 vibration), 4.1. It is noteworthy that the values for the partially ionic molecules, hydrogen chloride and hydrogen bromide, are nearly the same as for hydrogen and deuterium.
