Chapter 10, Problem 10B.4P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The representatives of the operations of the $T_{\text{d}}$ point group for ${\text{CH}}_{\text{4}}$ molecule in a basis of $\text{H1s}$ orbitals have to be shown.

Concept introduction:

The molecules are classified on the basis of the symmetry elements presents in them.  These symmetry elements form a group and are known as point group.  The point groups have the specific symmetry elements which is characteristic of the molecule.
