Methane belongs to the Ta point group, for which the character table iš provided included alongside this test. The Ta character table states 8 C3 operations because: O There are four C3 axes each with two unique operations. O The four C-H bonds are equivalent. O There are two Cz axes each with four unique operations. O There are 8 C3 axes in the point group. O The C3 axes are all equivalent.
