Why is Symmetry useful?
~ for Spectroscopy (identifying equivalent parts of molecule)
~ for Classifying Structure
~ for Bonding

Symmetry may be defined as a feature of an object which is invariant to transformation
Symmetry elements are geometrical items about which symmetry transformations—or symmetry operations—occur.
There are 5 types of symmetry elements.1. Mirror plane of reflection, s
z

When all the Symmetry of an item are taken together, magical things happen.
The set of symmetry operations (NOT elements)in an object can form a Group
A “group” is a mathematical construct that has four criteria (‘properties”)
A Group is a set of things that:1) has closure property2) demonstrates
associativity3) possesses an
identity 4) possesses an
inversion for each operation
![Page 9: Today in Inorganic…. Uses of Symmetry in Chemistry Symmetry elements and operations Properties of Groups Symmetry Groups, i.e., Point Groups Previously:](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d2e5503460f94a04f18/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Let’s see how this works with symmetry operations.
Start with an object that has a C3 axis.

NOTE: that only symmetry operations form groups, not symmetry elements.
![Page 10: Today in Inorganic…. Uses of Symmetry in Chemistry Symmetry elements and operations Properties of Groups Symmetry Groups, i.e., Point Groups Previously:](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d2e5503460f94a04f18/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Now, observe what the C3 operation does:

A useful way to check the 4 group properties is to make a “multiplication” table:

Now, observe what happens when two distinct symmetry elements exist together:
Start with an object that has only a C3 axis.

Now, observe what happens when two symmetry elements exist together:
Now add one mirror plane, s1.

still form a group?

Note that the standard convention is that you perform the row operation first then the column operation. So the result illustrated earlier in the pink box was obtained by doing C3, then s1 written as (s1 x C3 ).

The set of symmetry operations that forms aGroup is call a Point Group—it describes completely the symmetry of an object around a point.
Point Group symmetry assignments for any object can most easily be assigned by following a flowchart.
The set {E, C3 C32 s1 s2 s3} includes the
operations of the C3v point group.

The Types of point groups
If an object has no symmetry (only the identity E) it belongs to group C1
Axial Point groups or Cn class Cn = E + n Cn ( n operations)Cnh= E + n Cn + sh (2n operations)Cnv = E + n Cn + n sv ( 2n operations)
Dihedral Point Groups or Dn class Dn = Cn + nC2 (^)
Dnd = Cn + nC2 (^) + n sd
Dnh = Cn + nC2 (^) + sh
Sn groups:
S1 = Cs
S2 = Ci
