GROUP THEORY

SYMMETRICAL THINGS WITH THEIR

SPECIFICATIONS ON THE BASIS OF
RECENT DAYS.
ABOUT:
• Group theory : Its an mathematical method used for determination of the
symmetrical aspects.
• Symmetry: The distribution of molecules in 3d space as even or odd for the
identification and measure molecules symmetry.
• There are five types of symmetry elements present out of that three a stated in
the presentation those are :
(a)Axis of Symmetry
- aka Axis of Proper Rotation.
- denoted by “Cn”.
(b)Plane of Symmetry
- aka Plane of Reflection.
- denoted by the sigma sign.
(c)Inversion Centre
- aka Centre of Symmetry.
- denoted by “i”.
