Q103 · CSIR NET Chemistry, December 2015
Paper: CSIR NET December 2015 · Subject: Physical Chemistry · Chapter: Group Theory · Topic: Group Theory – General · Marks: 2 · Difficulty: Medium
The product $\mathrm{C}_{2}^{\mathrm{x}} \cdot \sigma_{\mathrm{xy}}$ ( $\mathrm{C}_{2}^{\mathrm{x}}$ is the two-fold rotation axis around the $x$-axis and $\sigma_{\mathrm{xy}}$ is the xy mirror plane) is
(a)$\sigma_{\mathrm{xz}}$
(b)$\sigma y z$
(c)$\mathrm{C}_{2}^{\mathrm{y}}$
(d)$\mathrm{C}_{2}^{\mathrm{z}}$
Answer
Answer: A ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high
Explanation
C₂(x)·σ(xy): (x, y, z) → (x, −y, z) = σ(xz) (a).
