Formally, normal modes are determined by solving a secular determinant, and then the normal coordinates (over the normal modes) can be expressed as a summation over the cartesian coordinates (over the atom positions). The normal modes diagonalize the matrix governing the molecular vibrations, so that each normal mode is an independent molecular ...
Example of a linear molecule. N atoms in a molecule have 3N degrees of freedom which constitute translations, rotations, and vibrations.For non-linear molecules, there are 3 degrees of freedom for translational (motion along the x, y, and z directions) and 3 degrees of freedom for rotational motion (rotations in R x, R y, and R z directions) for each atom.
In mathematical terms, normal modes are orthogonal to each other. Vibration of a single normal mode of a circular disc with a pinned boundary condition along the entire outer edge. See other modes.

Simulated vibration-rotation line spectrum of carbon monoxide, 12 C 16 O. The P-branch is to the left of the gap near 2140 cm −1, the R-branch on the right. [note 2] Schematic ro-vibrational energy level diagram for a linear molecule. Diatomic molecules with the general formula AB have one normal mode of vibration involving stretching of the ...
Here, () represents the vibrational frequency of the jth normal mode in solution, signifies the vibrational frequency in the gas phase, N denotes the number of distributed sites on the solute molecule, () denotes the solvent electric potential at the kth site of the solute molecule, and are the parameters to be determined through least-square ...
Energy-level diagram showing the states involved in Raman spectra. Raman spectroscopy (/ ˈ r ɑː m ən /) (named after physicist C. V. Raman) is a spectroscopic technique typically used to determine vibrational modes of molecules, although rotational and other low-frequency modes of systems may also be observed. [1]
The GF method, sometimes referred to as FG method, is a classical mechanical method introduced by Edgar Bright Wilson to obtain certain internal coordinates for a vibrating semi-rigid molecule, the so-called normal coordinates Q k. Normal coordinates decouple the classical vibrational motions of the molecule and thus give an easy route to ...
For example, the water molecule has three normal modes of vibration: symmetric stretch in which the two O-H bond lengths vary in phase with each other, asymmetric stretch in which they vary out of phase, and bending in which the bond angle varies. The molecular symmetry of water is C 2v with four irreducible representations A 1, A 2, B 1 and B 2.
