Abstract
The selection rules for a molecule, based on a hypothetical model, were derived in Chapter 5. The normal modes of this model can be determined using the normal coordinate treatment (NCT) method, which also serves to check the frequency assignments for the model. This method, which illustrates a useful application of group theory, depends on the bond lengths and bond angles of the model. Knowledge of force constants (the restoring force between two atoms) is also necessary, and the molecule must possess a high degree of symmetry.
