Ethylene has D2h symmetry.

a. List all the symmetry operations of ethylene.

b. Write a transformation matrix for each symmetry operation that describes the effect of that operation on the coordinates of a point x, y, z.

c. Using the characters of your transformation matrices, obtain a reducible representation.

d. Using the diagonal elements of your matrices, obtain three of the D2h irreducible representations.

e. Show that your irreducible representations are mutually orthogonal.
