Subject: Physical Chemistry · Chapter: Group Theory · Topic: Character Tables · Exam: CSIR-NET JUNE 2016 · Marks: 2 · Difficulty: Hard
The character table for the $D_{4}$ point group is provided below: | $\mathrm{D}_{3}$ | E | $2 \mathrm{C}_{3}$ | 3C |
|---|
| $\mathrm{A}_{1}$ | 1 | 1 | 1 | $\mathrm{x}^{2}+\mathrm{y}^{2}, \mathrm{z}^{2}$ |
| $\mathrm{A}_{2}$ | 1 | 1 | -1 | $\mathrm{z}, \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{z}}$ |
| E | 2 | -1 | 0 | $(\mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y}),\left(\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{x}}, \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{y}}\right)$ | $\left(\mathrm{x}^{2}-\mathrm{y}^{2}, \mathrm{xy}\right),(\mathrm{xz}, \mathrm{yz})$ |
For this point group, the correct statement among the following is: (a)it is possible to have a totally symmetric normal mode of vibration which is IR-active
(b)all IR-active normal modes are necessarily Raman inactive
(c)all Raman-active normal modes are necessarily IR-active
(d)it is possible to have a pair of IR-active normal modes that are degenerate.
