Can you explain selection rules in inorganic chemistry in simple words, for a class 12 student?
How do selection rules relate to electron transitions in inorganic molecules?
In inorganic molecules, electron transitions are governed by selection rules that determine which transitions are allowed and which are forbidden based on the conservation of quantum numbers. For example, transitions that violate the conservation of angular momentum, spin, or parity are generally forbidden, while those that conserve these properties are allowed.
