Question

What is zero point energy? Calculate the number of normal modes of vibration for the following compounds:(i) PF3 (ii) ClNO (iii) XeF2​

Answer 1

Hey mate!

I am here with your answer!

Zero-point energy is the difference between the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical system may have, and the classical minimum energy of the system. Unlike in classical mechanics, quantum systems constantly fluctuate in their lowest energy state due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

Hope this will help you
