It is determined by whether the molecule is polar or nonpolar. Nonpolar molecules do not absorb radiation in the microwave region; therefore, they are microwave inactive. Polar molecules are microwave active.

Why Br2 microwave active?

I don't think it is. Microwave energy levels correspond to rotational modes, and for rotational spectroscopy, a molecule has to have a dipole moment... homonuclear diatomics like Br2 don't, and thus do not exhibit a pure rotational spectrum.


What is the opposite of inactive?

The opposite or antonym of inactive is active. Some synonyms for active (and thus, antonyms for inactive) are lively, live, brisk, energetic, and operative.


What are IR-active and inactive molecules?

In order for a molecule to be IR active, the vibration must produce an oscillating dipole. This usually means that the bond (or bonds) in question have are polar to begin with so that they have a dipole. Therefore symmetrical molecules like O2 and N2 are not IR active, but molecules like H2O with polar bonds are IR active.
