The potential energy surfaces The potential energy surfaces (PES) are generated by the (PES) are generated by the solution of the electronic part of the solution of the electronic part of the Schrodinger equation. This Schrodinger equation. This solution gives an energy for every solution gives an energy for every fixed position of the nuclei. When fixed position of the nuclei. When the energy is plotted as a function the energy is plotted as a function of geometries it generates the PES of geometries it generates the PES as a(3N-6) dimensional surface. as a(3N-6) dimensional surface.

Since two conditions are needed for the existence of a conical intersection the dimensionality is Nint-2, where Nint is the number of internal coordinates
For diatomic molecules there is only one internal coordinate and so states of the same symmetry cannot cross (noncrossing rule). But polyatomic molecules have more internal coordinates and states of the same symmetry can cross.
