QUESTION:
The ClO2 molecule (which belongs to the group C2v) was trapped in a solid. Its ground state is known to be B1. Light polarized parallel to the y-axis (parallel to the OO separation) excited the molecule to an upper state. What is the symmetry of that state?

QUESTION:
The ClO2 molecule (which belongs to the group C2v) was trapped in a solid. Its ground state is known to be B1. Light polarized parallel to the y-axis (parallel to the OO separation) excited the molecule to an upper state. What is the symmetry of that state?
ANSWER:The symmetry of the upper state would depend on the type of light used to excite the molecule. If it was circul
