of the 19th century and the theoretical notion of the quantum of action

discovered by M. Planck (1858–1947) in 1900 based on the blackbody

radiation data [78]. Although Bohr’s original model of the atom success­

fully accounted for the spectral data of the hydrogen atom, it violated the

Maxwell’s equation of electromagnetism, which was finally resolved by

the development of quantum mechanics in the hands of Heisenberg,

Schrödinger, Dirac, and Pauli by 1925.

Figure 2.6 The energy diagram of the FCP. The electronic rest mass is about 2000 times

smaller than that of the proton. Hence electronic transitions from one vibrational energy

level to another are very fast compared with the changes in the positions of nuclei consist­

ing of one or more protons. The FCP states that electronic transitions are favored that

involve vibrational levels that correspond to a minimal change in the nuclear positions. The

potential wells given above favor the electronic transitions from v = 0 (i.e., the ground

vibrational energy level of the ground electronic energy level) to v = 2 (i.e., the second

vibrational energy level of the excited electronic energy level). Retrieved from https://
