Abstract

AbstractConsiderations of the order of magnitude and the symmetry of various intramolecular interactions form the foundation of molecular spectroscopy. They are related and they together make molecular spectroscopy transparent and tidy. In this chapter, they are discussed starting from the very fundamental. The order of magnitude has not been discussed in any previous textbooks of molecular spectroscopy. The symmetry has been discussed in many textbooks and discussions here are limited to the rotational and nuclear spin states and its application to forbidden rotational transitions and the stability of nuclear spin modifications (ortho‐, para‐ etc.).
