centre of symmetry การใช้
- Disruption of the centre of symmetry occurs for various reasons, such as the Jahn-Teller effect and asymmetric vibrations.
- However, forbidden transitions are allowed if the centre of symmetry is disrupted, and indeed, such apparently forbidden transitions are then observed in experiments.
- In the special case of a homonuclear diatomic molecule, there is an extra symmetry since in addition to the axis of symmetry provided by the internuclear axis, there is a centre of symmetry at the midpoint of the distance between the two nuclei ( the symmetry discussed in this paragraph only depends on the two nuclear charges being the same.
