What are the symmetry operations of molecule AB4, where the molecule b lies at the center of the square and A lies at the center
1 answer:
The symmetry operations of molecule AB₄ is tetrahedral and they are :
- E : Identity
- 4C₃ : axis of rotation
- 3C₂ : axis of rotation
- 3S₄ : Rotation-reflection axis
- 6бd
To find the multiplication table we have to apply the multiplication table for Td symmetry ( attached below )
Given that molecule B lies at the corners of the square and molecule A lie at the center and is not coplanar with molecule B the symmetry operations of the molecules AB₄ will belong to a tetrahedral symmetry group which contains :
- E : Identity
- 4C₃ : axis of rotation
- 3C₂ : axis of rotation
- 3S₄ : Rotation-reflection axis
- 6бd
