Abstract
ABSTRACT In this contribution, we show that the product dissociation energy (D) × interatomic distance (R) with regards to a straightforward taxonomy of diatomic molecules comes to assume a relatively high and virtually constant value. It is so much so that the heavier the diatomic molecules at hand, the closer DxR approaches e 2 (where e is the elementary charge intensity in esu). This occurrence is studied herein separately under families arranged from chemically-alike diatomic molecules. Each family (such as the set made of ‘pairs of strictly alkali atoms’, or ‘pairs of strictly halogen atoms’, or ‘pairs of alkali-halogen atoms’, etc), is thus composed of diatomic molecules formed of atoms bearing similar electronic configurations; whereby we initially ended up dealing with 18 families in total. In addition to those, we brought together 10 more families of diatomic molecules each composed of heavy metal atoms belonging respectively to each of the ten columns drawn from the three rows of heavy metals under the Periodic Table, and observed an even better conformance. [Sc2, Y2, La2] is the first family in question; [Ti2, Zr2, Hf2] and [Va2, No2, Ta2] are the next two families; [Zn2, Cd2, Hg2] delineates the last family of heavy metal diatomic molecules of concern. Let us stress that each of these sets embodies diatomic molecules made of heavy metal atoms belonging to the given column of the Periodic Table; thus, bearing alike electronic configurations. We further brought together 5 more families made of heavy metal hydrides, oxides, chlorides, and alkalines. We were motivated to undertake the present research in the light of our insight with regards to (i) the general non-opacity character of neutral bodies vis-à-vis electrical field transmission, and thence (ii) the attractional electric property of neutral bodies – which underlines the disclosed constancy where, particularly for diatomic molecules comprising heavy atoms, the increase in DxR happens to get aligned with the increase in atomic weight 1 (A1) × atomic weight 2 (A2).
Highlights
In the present study, we analyze the entire set of diatomic molecules starting with their simplest representative, the hydrogen molecule H2
Thence, first things first, we propose to express the dissociation energy D(r) of any diatomic molecule around the ground state the way given in eq (5)
“heavy metal pairs”, etc... – each composed of diatomic molecules formed of atoms bearing similar electronic configurations – their dissociation energy (D) interatomic distance (R) products delineate a relatively high and perplexingly constant value
Summary
We analyze the entire set of diatomic molecules starting with their simplest representative, the hydrogen molecule H2. Looking at the general ascending behavior of the DxR plots for the heavy molecules, there appears a postulatory universal neutral atom of mass MUniversal, or MU for short, which would leak an attractional electric field of source charge of intensity e, for which the coefficient k would assume the value of just unity This trend is most apparent for heavy metal molecules (cf Figures 19-33, or Sets 5 and 6); MU for them occurs, for instance, at an even lighter upperbound. Such a situation seems to denote a peculiar problem which we plan to further elaborate on, in a subsequent study
