Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of vibrational modes and IR absorption bands of sulfur dioxide molecule should be determined.

Concept introduction:

When the atom of a molecule moves, there is translation and rotation in the molecule. The uncertainty principle of Heisenberg states that the atoms of the molecule are in the continuous motion. The modes of vibrations may be IR or Raman active.
