(a)
Interpretation:
The resulting representations for the given products of irreducible representations are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The group of symmetry operations of which at least one point is kept fixed is called point group. The symmetry operations can be identity, rotation, reflection, inversion and improper rotation.
(b)
Interpretation:
The resulting representations for the given products of irreducible representations are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The group of symmetry operations of which at least one point is kept fixed is called point group. The symmetry operations can be identity, rotation, reflection, inversion and improper rotation. The Great orthogonality theorem gives the relationship between all the elements of matrix of representation with the symmetry operation.

- Use the matrix representatives of the operations σh and C3 in a basis of 2pz orbitals on each atom in BF3 to find the operation and its representative resulting from C3σh. Take z as perpendicular to the molecular plane.arrow_forwardA symmetry group of order h = 8 is known to have five (5) classes. Three of its irreducible representations have a dimensionality of 1. Based on this, what are the dimensions of its remaining irreducible representation(s)? 1, 1, 1 1, 2 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 2,2 1, 2, 2 OOOarrow_forward(a) Given the operator = -0 C₁¹ show that [‚Â] = 0 =0 (b) Decompose the representation below into the irreducible representations of C3v.
