Question
Chapter 13, Problem 13.50E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The validation of the statement that the sum of the squares of all the characters for E (the identity element) in a point group equals the order of that group with help of an example is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The group of symmetry operations of which atleast one point is kept fixed is called point group. The symmetry operations can be identity, rotation, reflection, inversion and improper rotation. The order of the group is the total number of symmetry elements in a point group. The irreducible representations of a point group are known as characters.
