Question: The rotation of an lH127I molecule can be pictured as the orbital motion of an H atom at a distance 160 pm from a stationary

The rotation of an lH127I molecule can be pictured as the orbital motion of an H atom at a distance 160 pm from a stationary I atom. (This picture is quite good; to be precise, both atoms rotate around their common centre of mass, which is very close to the I nucleus.) Suppose that the molecule rotates only in a plane. Calculate the energy needed to excite the molecule into rotation. What, apart from 0, is the minimum angular momentum of the molecule?
