Make observations about the structure of each snowflake, and describe the types of symmetry that a snowflake can have. The structure of each snowflake is based on a regular hexagon. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box(es) to complete your choice. O A. Theoretically, every snowflake should have rotational symmetry at angles whose measures are multiples of (Do not include the degree symbol in your answer.) and will not have reflectional symmetry. O B. Theoretically, snowflakes should not have any symmetry. O C. Theoretically, every snowflake should have (Do not include the degree symbol in your answer.) lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry at angles whose measures are multiples of D. Theoretically, every snowflake should have lines of symmetry and will not have rotational symmetry.

Identify and Draw the operations, the symmetry elements and how the atoms in the BF3 molecule are transformed by labeling the Fluorine atoms in A, B and C.
2. We can form a group of symmetry operations, with our operation being do one operation and do another. For a molecule with an isosceles triangle molecule like water, we talked about the 4 symmetry operations as E (do nothing), C2 (rotation by 180°), σv (the reflection of one hydrogen to the other), and σv’ (the reflection from front to back). By putting coordinates on each of the three atoms (z points along the C2 rotation axis, x points from one hydrogen to the other, and y points out of the plane of the molecule) find the “multiplication” table for this group.
1. Below are two views of the triflate anion, CF3SO3−. a. Using the conventions learned in class, draw the following: i. A cartesian coordinate system. Indicate which view your coordinate system corresponds to. ii. The principal axis of rotation. Give the axis using the proper notation for symmetry elements. iii. One of the mirror planes. Name the mirror axis, including the name of the cartesian plane. b. List ALL unique symmetry operations present for triflate. You do not need to include redundant ones (e.g. since, C33 = E, you do not need to include C33). c. What is the point group of triflate?
Consider orthorhombic space-group symmetry Pnma: When the X and Y directions are switched, one obtains a different setting of the same space group – Pmnb.
