Spherical top molecules have no net dipole moment. A pure rotational spectrum cannot be observed by absorption or emission spectroscopy because there is no permanent dipole moment whose rotation can be accelerated by the electric field of an incident photon.

The molecule active in rotation microwave, infrared absorption as well as rotational Raman spectra is HCl.
Explanation:
- Rotation microwave spectrum: This spectrum arises due to the rotational transitions of molecules between different energy levels. In this spectrum, molecules absorb or emit radiation in the microwave region (1-100 cm-1) when they undergo rotational transitions. HCl exhibits a rotation microwave spectrum due to the presence of a permanent dipole moment (µ) and the ability to rotate freely about its molecular axis.
- Infrared absorption spectrum: This spectrum arises due to the vibrational transitions of molecules between different energy levels. In this spectrum, molecules absorb or emit radiation in the infrared region (4000-400 cm-1) when they undergo vibrational transitions. HCl exhibits an infrared absorption spectrum due to the presence of a polar covalent bond and the ability to vibrate about its bond axis.
- Rotational Raman spectrum: This spectrum arises due to the rotational transitions of molecules between different energy levels. In this spectrum, molecules scatter radiation in the Raman region (100-4000 cm-1) when they undergo rotational transitions. HCl exhibits a rotational Raman spectrum due to the presence of a polarizability (α) and the ability to rotate freely about its molecular axis.
Therefore, the molecule active in rotation microwave, infrared absorption as well as rotational Raman spectra is HCl.
