• These pictures arising from combination of internal displacements are only approximations to the real normal modes. (In reality, the carbon atoms would also need to move by small amounts in order to ensure that the centre of mass remain fixed.) • In the next two sections, we will see how a symmetry analysis helps us to determine whether or not a particular normal mode will give rise to absorptions in the infra-red or vibrational Raman scattering (i.e. whether or not a mode is ‘infra-red or Raman active’). • We will start out by looking at the symmetry of the harmonic oscillator wavefunctions, which are a first approximation to the vibrational wavefunctions of the molecule, and then move on to discuss the selection rules for transitions between them.

7.2 Symmetry of the vibrational wavefunctions • If we assume that the vibrations are harmonic, each normal mode has associated with a set of energy levels: (ωi is the vibrational frequency of the ith normal mode). 𝑬𝒗𝒊 = 𝒗𝒊 + 𝟏 𝟐 ℏ𝝎𝒊 𝒗𝒊 = 𝟎, 𝟏, 𝟐 . • The normal modes can be excited independently of one another so, for example, we can have the first normal mode in the v1= 1 level, the second in the ground state (v2=0), the third in the v3= 3 level and so on. The set of energy levels available for H2O. 15:31 B1

7.2 Symmetry of the vibrational wavefunctions • For a diatomic, the harmonic oscillator wavefunctions depend only on the displacement x, where x=(r-re ). In terms of the scaled coordinate q( x), the form of the first few wavefunctions and their energies (unit in ℏ𝝎) are tabulated here. • In more complex molecules, a normal mode involves several atoms changing their positions, but we can define a single normal coordinate Qi (简正坐标) to describe the motion of ith normal mode.
