AI Thread Summary
To find contributions per atom for calculating reducible parts in a molecular orbital (MO) diagram, one must refer to the character tables associated with the molecule's point group, in this case, D3h for CO3-2. The contributions per atom can be derived from the coefficients in the character table and the symmetry operations. The specific contributions for CO3-2 are 3, 0, -1, 1, -2, 1, which align with the symmetry representations. Understanding how to interpret the character table and apply symmetry operations is crucial for solving these types of problems. Mastery of these concepts is essential for accurate calculations in molecular symmetry.

Homework Statement


How do you find the contributions per atom for calculating the reducible parts?

For example CO3-2 has pt. grp: D3h.

From the character tables-- the first row (unshifted atoms) is: 3,0,1,3,0,1. Second row (coefficients): 1,2,3,1,2,3 Third Row (contributions per atom): ?,?,?,?,?,?

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



I know the answer is 3,0,-1,1,-2,1 but I can't find any hints as to how this was obtained. Is it from the character tables or from the symmetry operations?

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
