Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the transition from the ground state
Concept introduction:
The selection rules for molecular transitions can be made on the basis of group theory by knowing the symmetry species of the wavefunctions. The intensity of transition depends on the electric transition dipole moment.
(b)
Interpretation:
The change that might occur in the transition when the molecule
Concept introduction:
The characters of the irreducible representations of the given point group can be multiplied by each other. The only condition is the characters of the same symmetry operations are multiplied together. The multiplication of the characters is commutative.
The great orthogonality theorem for the reducible representation can be expressed as shown below.
