    such that they do not disturb the motion of the other molecules. Normal modes as implied by the name are orthogonal to each other. In order to discuss the quantum-mechanical equations that govern the molecular vibration it is important to convert Cartesian coordinates into normal coordinates. The atom vibration in polyatomic molecules is represented by normal coordinates. The normal coordinates and the vibrational wave function can be characterized into a point group they belong to. 3.
