Chapter 13, Problem 13.13E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The matrix representation for C2 axis by using equation 13.18 is to be constructed and relation C^2C^2=E^ is to be demonstrated.

Concept introduction:

A symmetry operation is defined as an action on an object to reproduce an arrangement that is identical to its original spatial arrangement. The spatial arrangement of the object remains identical after a symmetry operation. The point of reference through which a symmetry operation takes place is termed as a symmetry element.

Show whether the function V (0) = sin 0; 0 = 0- 2T satisfies the %3D normalization condition. If not find the normalization factor N so that V (0) = N sin 0 will satisfy the condition V² d0 = 1
Determine the normalization constant for - e-r/a by normalizing in all space of spherical polar coordinates. This will involve a triple integral. Check your limits carefully and don't forget to add the Jacobian (r2 sin 0) inside your integral. It is part of dr. Hint: This function is the radial part of the H atom wavefunction, so you should be able to check your answer Table 11.4.) N= a3 ON- N=. a N= na 3 O N= na3
Since we use wavefunctions to describe the motion of the electron around the nucleus, the reference point is the origin (0,0,0) in Cartesian or spherical coordinates. Describe the following wave functions as symmetric (even), antisymmetric (odd), or neither (unsymmetric or asymmetric) with reference to the orgin: A sketch will assist you in your determination of the symmetry a. (a) Y (0) = cos (0) Type equation here. b. (b) Y (0) = cos (0 )sin(0); c. (c) Y (x) = Ae*, where A is a constant; d. (d) Y (x)=x", where n is odd; and e. (e). (x)=x+x².
