[Solved] Every set of objects on the atoms (coordinate system or orbital) produces a matrix representation. If we were to place atomic p orbital functions

Every set of objects on the atoms (coordinate system or orbital) produces a matrix representation. If we were to place atomic p orbital functions on each atom (figure below), we would construct the same set of matrices. Find the matrix representations for the py or pz orbitals for the x, y and the z axis on SO2. Your TA will assign the orbital py or pz you need to look at. You will have to create 12 new matrices, show your work and label each set of matrices as either faithful or not faithful. Complete this exercise on a piece of paper or a tablet. og 8 6 (В ру PZ It is possible to have many different matrix representations; the larger the group the larger the number of matrices in each representation. Therefore, matrices are a way to represent symmetry operations. However, they are not the simplest possible way we can represent these symmetry operations.
