It is relatively easy to study sodium vapor spectroscopicallyover boiling sodium at 1160 K. There is a question whether themolecule, N_a3 is linear or bent. Which would have the largestmolecular partition function, q, at that temperature (N_a3 linearor N_a3 bent)? What molecular constants would need to be measuredto determine this? (Assume that the bond strengths are teh same ineach geometry and ignore electronic states.)
