Orientation 1.

• Orientation described in terms of rotation of molecule frame

• Direction cosines can be used to describe rotation

• Relation between same point in two frames

• Rotation matrix

• Kinematics of rigid-molecule rotation described in terms of rotation of the molecule coordinate frame (i.e. the direction cosines)

  • r' never changes in a rigid molecule
