Chapter 18, Problem 18.32E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The expected ratios of molecules in odd rotational states to even rotational stated for given molecule is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The antisymmetric spin states represent the even rotational states while symmetric spin states represent the odd rotational states.

The odd rotational states are calculated by,

(I+1)(2I+1)

The even rotational states are calculated by,

(2I2+I)

Where,

I is the spin of magnitude.
