About this document

Classification of Molecules by Inertia by Ruag Shrada is a document available to read on EtoBox.

- Molecules are classified into four categories based on their moment of inertia ellipsoids: linear, spherical top, symmetric top, and asymmetric top. - Linear molecules have a cylindrical moment of inertia ellipsoid. Spherical top molecules are the most symmetrical but lack a dipole moment. - Symmetric top molecules have two equal moments of inertia and are subdivided into prolate and oblate tops. Asymmetric top molecules have three unequal moments of inertia. - Ray
