Construct the symmetry-adapted linear combination molecular orbitals for hydrogen sulfide,
Interpretation:
The symmetry-adapted linear combination molecular orbitals for hydrogen sulfide are to be constructed.
Concept introduction:
A symmetry operation is defined as an action on an object to reproduce an arrangement that is identical to its original spatial arrangement. The spatial arrangement of the object remains identical after a symmetry operation. The point of reference through which a symmetry operation takes place is termed as a symmetry element.
