This model for rotation is called the rigid-rotor model. It is a good approximation (even though a molecule vibrates as it rotates, and the bonds are elastic rather than rigid) because the amplitude of the vibration is small compared to the bond length.

This groupwork exercise aims to help you connect the rigid rotator model to rotational spectroscopy.

It discusses the rotational partition function, including the role of degeneracy and symmetry in homonuclear molecules.
