In other words, the molecules formed from a limited analyses and function-fitting. we'll make a periodic system for molecules so that properties will vary the same way, or will have increasing or decreasing numerical values, if we move in different directions of the system. The periodic system of the elements is an area, that is, it is two-dimensional. If we multiply it by itself once, we will have a four-dimensional shape. So, the periodic system for diatomic molecules like carbon monoxide, atmospheric oxygen, and the like, is four-dimensional. The way to do the multiplication is well known from group theory, but how do we visualize it? We visualize the four-dimensional periodic system for diatomic molecules
by slicing it. Each slice is three-dimensional and so we can make wooden or plastic models of it. Depending on how we slice it, we get different molecules in different parts of the models. The properties of these molecules will vary in different ways along different rows, columns and stacks of these models.
