Chapter 10, Problem 10C.6BE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The symmetry species of the upper excited state to which ${\text{ClO}}_{\text{2}}$ molecule has been excited has to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The selection rules for molecular transitions can be made on the basis of group theory by knowing the symmetry species of the wavefunctions.  The intensity of transition depends on the electric transition dipole moment.
