Q64 · CSIR-NET Chemistry, December 2017
Paper: CSIR-NET December 2017 · Subject: Physical Chemistry · Chapter: Group Theory · Topic: Character Tables · Marks: 2 · Difficulty: Medium
For a point group, an incomplete character table is given below with one irreducible representation missing | E | $2\mathrm{C_3}$ | $3\sigma$ |
|---|
| $\mathrm{A_1}$ | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| — | — | — | — |
| E | 2 | -1 | 0 |
(a)$\mathrm{A}^{\prime}{ }_{1}$ 1-1 1
(b)$\mathrm{B}_{1}-11-1$
(c)$\mathrm{A}_{2}$ 11-1
(d)$\mathrm{B}_{2} 1-11$
Answer
Answer: C ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high
Explanation
The table is C₃v, so the missing irreducible representation is A₂ with characters 1, 1, −1 (c).
