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.arrow_forward
