    This document contains instructions for assignment A1 that is due on January 23rd, 2012. It includes 4 questions about identifying molecular symmetry elements like C3 axes and centers of inversion. Students are asked to identify these elements in molecules like NH+, CO2, C2H2, BF3, and ions like SO2- and determine the point groups and numbers of vibrational modes of -BCl3, SO2- and NCS, identifying which modes are IR active.
