Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The four application of character table has to be identified and stated.

Concept introduction:

The character table represents two-dimensional table in which each row signifies irreducible group representation.  Each column signifies conjugacy classes of each group elements.  A symmetry operation is defined as an action on an object to reproduce an arrangement using a symmetry argument.  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.
