Rotational Selection Rules

Rotational Selection Rules is a theoretical construct in molecular spectroscopy that specifies the allowed transitions between rotational energy levels of a molecule during electromagnetic radiation absorption or emission, distinguished by quantized changes in the rotational quantum number and governed by symmetry and angular momentum conservation principles.
