Question
Chapter 14, Problem 14.76E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The individual symmetry element for the C3v group as either proper rotations or improper rotations is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Proper rotation is when rotation occurs through the axis of rotation. It is done by rotating the molecule through 360°/n, where n is the order of the axis.

Improper rotation is when rotation occurs through the axis of rotation as well as reflection in a plane which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

Proper rotations are E and Cn, and improper rotations are σ, i, and Sn.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The individual symmetry element for the Td group as either proper rotations or improper rotations is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Proper rotation is when rotation occurs through the axis of rotation. It is done by rotating the molecule through 360°/n where n is the order of the axis.

Improper rotation is when rotation occurs through the axis of rotation as well as reflection in a plane which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

Proper rotations are E and Cn, and improper rotations are σ, i and Sn.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The individual symmetry element for the D6h group as either proper rotations or improper rotations is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Proper rotation is when rotation occurs through the axis of rotation. It is done by rotating the molecule through 360°/n where n is the order of the axis.

Improper rotation is when rotation occurs through the axis of rotation as well as reflection in a plane which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

Concept introduction:

Proper rotation is when rotation occurs through the axis of rotation. It is done by rotating the molecule through 360°/n where n is the order of the axis.

Improper rotation is when rotation occurs through the axis of rotation as well as reflection in a plane which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

Proper rotations are E and Cn, and improper rotations are σ, i and Sn.

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

The individual symmetry element for the Dh group as either proper rotations or improper rotations is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Proper rotation is when rotation occurs through the axis of rotation. It is done by rotating the molecule through 360°/n where n is the order of the axis.

Improper rotation is when rotation occurs through the axis of rotation as well as reflection in a plane which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

Proper rotations are E and Cn, and improper rotations are σ, i and Sn.

Interpretation Introduction

(f)

Interpretation:

The individual symmetry element for the O group as either proper rotations or improper rotations is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Proper rotation is when rotation occurs through the axis of rotation. It is done by rotating the molecule through 360°/n where n is the order of the axis.

Improper rotation is when rotation occurs through the axis of rotation as well as reflection in a plane which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

Proper rotations are E and Cn, and improper rotations are σ, i, and Sn.
