The rotationally inelastic molecule–surface scattering is analyzed using dynamical Lie algebraic method. We treat, by example, the simple model of the scattering of NO from a rigid, flat Ag(111) surface. The explicit expressions of transition probability and the probability current density are obtained. It is proved that dynamical Lie algebraic method can be useful for describing the scattering problems. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Quant Chem 76: 500–510, 2000
