Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.38P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Point groups of molecules that would make by replacing the hydrogen atoms of methane with other atoms should be determined.
Concept Introduction: Every molecule has a set of symmetry operations. These symmetry operations describe the overall symmetry of the molecule. This whole set of symmetry operations are known as point group.
