3
Symmetry is present in nature and in human culture
4
Understand what orbitals are used in bonding.
Predict optical activity of a molecule.
Predict IR and Raman spectral activity
Using symmetry in Chemistry
5
A molecule or object is said to possess a particular operation if that operation when applied leaves the molecule unchanged.
Symmetry operations
6
There are 5 kinds of operations
1. Identity2. n-Fold Rotations3. Reflection4. Inversion5. Improper n-Fold Rotation
7
IDENTITY
E (Identity Operation) = no change in the object.
Needed for mathematical completeness.
Every molecule has at least this symmetry operation.
8
It is equal to rotation of the object 360/n degree about an axis .
The symmetry element is line.
Principle axis = axis with the largest possible n value.
Cnn Is equal to identity (E)
Cn Rotation (n-fold rotation)
9
Symmetry element is plane.
Linear object has infinite σ.
σv- plane including principle axis
σh- plane perpendicular to principle axis.
σd- plane bisecting the dihedral angle between two σv plane.
REFLECTION OPERATION (σ)
10
(x,y,z) --> (-x,-y,-z).
Symmetry element : point
Symmetry operation : inversion through a point.
i n is equal to identity (E)
INVERSION
11
It is also known as ROTATION-REFLECTION AXIS.
Rotation followed by reflection.
Snn = E ( n= even number)
Sn2n = E ( n= odd number)
Improper axis of symmetry
12
A symmetry element is a point of reference about which symmetry operations can take place
Symmetry elements can be 1. point 2. axis and 3. plane

Point group
18
The collection of symmetry elements present in a molecule forms a ‘group’, typically called a POINT GROUP.
The symmetry elements can combine only in a limited number of ways and these combinations are called the POINT GROUP.
WHY IS IT CALLED A “POINT GROUP”??
Because all the symmetry elements (points, lines, and planes) will intersect at a single point.
