Have a look at the answer chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/58609/… and also you can practice adding symmetry elements if you search for www.molecule-viewer.com and look at molecules under the S4 point group for examples of the S4 operation. | |

| Aug 11, 2018 at 7:40 | comment | added | MaxW | "unmarked" means that you didn't write cheat notes all over it. | |
| Aug 11, 2018 at 7:39 | comment | added | Hema | @MaxW what is an unmarked character table? In my book actually just the definitions of plane of symmetry,centre, axis and alternating axis of symmetry is covered | |
| Aug 11, 2018 at 7:34 | comment | added | MaxW | The only way to get good at 3D visualization is to practice. Various books on group symmetry will have a flow chart, but I could never remember the thing. Typically we could use the "unmarked" character tables for the test in class. | |
