Vibrations of Water

Adjust the appearance of the molecule and the vectors corresponding to the movements using the check boxes to optimise the view.
Advanced – The symmetry for each vibration is also shown.

• 3N-5 frequencies for linear systems of N atoms
• 3N-6 frequencies for non-linear systems of N atoms

The vibrations of an H₂O molecule all change the dipole moment.
