Collisional Excitation of F2O

The quantum mechanics is applied to the calculation of the intrinsic probability of excitation of vibration and rotation of an idealized F2O molecule by a neon atom. Comparisons are made of the excitation of the three normal vibrations from the zeroth to the first states. The probabilities of excitation of rotation accompanying vibrational excitation are explicitly shown and discussed. Further, excitations involving a change of two and four vibrational quantum numbers are approximated.
