Molecular clouds are opaque to visible and ultraviolet radiation. However, molecular radio spectroscopy makes it possible to derive the properties of these clouds with a fair amount of certainty. Molecular transitions are found in abundance throughout the entire centimeter, millimeter, and far infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. There is now strong evidence from a large body of observational data that star formation is occurring in molecular clouds and probably only there. This information comes mainly from high-resolution molecular radio spectra and infrared spectroscopy. A summary is provided of the characteristics indicative of star formation, taking into account dark clouds and molecular clouds associated with H(+) regions. Attention is given to the cold clouds of the Taurus complex and L 183, the warm cloud S 140, and hot clouds in the case of the Orion molecular cloud and S 106.
