Similarly, if an electron is in one of the 4d orbitals, rotating the system will move it into a different 4d orbital. Finally, an analogous statement is true for the position operator: when the system is rotated, the three different components of the position operator are effectively interchanged or mixed. 3873: 1331:

The key qualitative aspect of the Clebsch–Gordan decomposition that makes the argument work is that in the decomposition of the tensor product of two irreducible representations, each irreducible representation occurs only once.

The Wigner–Eckart theorem works because all 45 of these different calculations are related to each other by rotations. If an electron is in one of the 2p orbitals, rotating the system will generally move it into a

There are different conventions for the reduced matrix elements. One convention, used by Racah and Wigner, includes an additional phase and normalization factor,
2887:, where the coefficient of proportionality is independent of the indices. Hence, by comparing recursion relations, we can identify the Clebsch–Gordan coefficient 1800:{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}&\langle j\,m||j'\,m'\rangle =\hbar {\sqrt {(k\mp q)(k\pm q+1)}}\,\langle j\,m|T_{q\pm 1}^{(k)}|j'\,m'\rangle .\end{aligned}}} 273: 228: 127: 4962: 4972: 1219:. Rotating the system transforms these states into each other, so this is an example of a "group representation", in this case, the 5-dimensional 3903:, which is a nontrivial problem. However, the Wigner–Eckart theorem simplifies the problem. (In fact, we could obtain the solution quickly using 3868:{\displaystyle \langle j\,m|T_{q}^{(k)}|j'\,m'\rangle ={\frac {\langle j'\,m'\,k\,q|j\,m\rangle \langle j\|T^{(k)}\|j'\rangle }{\sqrt {2j'+1}}}.} 4967: 4843:
