    B2u 1 -1 1 -1 1 -1 1 -1 1 -1
    Eu 2 0 -2 0 0 -2 0 2 0 0

    Rule #1:


    Lets take E :

    2
    = 1
    2
    + 1

    =1

    2
    = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 4

    =1
    =

    Rule #2:


    Lets take A1g :

    = 1
    2
    + 2(1
    2
    ) + 1
    2
    + 2(1

    ) + 1
    2
    + 2(1
    2
    ) + 2(1
    2
    )

    = 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 =



    Rule # 3:

    ,
    Lets take B2u and Eu :

    112 + 210 + 112 + 210 + 210 + 112 +210 + 112


    +210 +21(0)

    2 + 0 + 2 +0 +0 +2 +0 +2 +0 +0 =

    Rule #4: In a given reducible or irreducible representation, the characters of all matrices belonging to operations
    in the same class are identical
    Lets take class C4 (z) for example. Two (2) operations belong to this class. Both operators have these
    following characters in each corresponding irreducible representation:
    1 1 -1 -1 0 1 1 -1 -1 0

    Rule # 5: The number of irreducible representations of a group is equal to the number of classes in a
    group.
    Point group D4h has 10 distinct classes of operators as follows:
    E , 2C4 (z) , C2 , 2C2' , 2C2'' , i , 2S4 , h , 2v , 2d

    with equal number of corresponding irreducible representations as follows:
    A1g , A2g , B1g , B2g , Eg , A1u , A2u , B1u , B2u , Eu

    3.
    D3h E 2C3 3C2 h 2S3 3v
    A1 1 1 1 1 1 1
    A2 1 1 -1 1 1 -1
    E 2 -1 0 2 -1 0
    A1 1 1 1 -1 -1 -1
    A2 1 1 -1 -1 -1 1
    E 2 -1 0 -2 1 0

    A1 x A2 1 1 -1 1 1 -1 = A2
    A2 x E 2 -1 0 2 -1 0 = E
    E x E 4 1 0 -4 -1 0
    E x E 4 1 0 4 1 0


    4. The 10-atom unit of Cu2O6N2 has these following operators, E, C2, i, h. Thus, it belongs to C2h point
    group.
