microwave radiation
- In chemical analysis: Microwave absorptiometry
…radiation can cause changes in rotational energy levels within molecules, making it useful for other purposes. The rotational energy levels within a molecule correspond to the different possible ways in which a portion of a molecule can revolve around the chemical bond that binds it to the remainder of the…

molecular spectra
- In spectroscopy: Rotational energy states
In the gas phase, molecules are relatively far apart compared to their size and are free to undergo rotation around their axes. If a diatomic molecule is assumed to be rigid (i.e., internal vibrations are not considered) and composed of two atoms…
