  2. List of character tables for chemically important 3D point groups

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_character_tables...

    This lists the character tables for the more common molecular point groups used in the study of molecular symmetry. These tables are based on the group-theoretical treatment of the symmetry operations present in common molecules, and are useful in molecular spectroscopy and quantum chemistry. Information regarding the use of the tables, as well ...

  3. Molecular symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_symmetry

    In chemistry, molecular symmetry describes the symmetry present in molecules and the classification of these molecules according to their symmetry. Molecular symmetry is a fundamental concept in chemistry, as it can be used to predict or explain many of a molecule's chemical properties , such as whether or not it has a dipole moment , as well ...

  4. Centrosymmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrosymmetry

    Benzene is a centrosymmetric molecule having a centre of symmetry at the centre. In crystallography, a centrosymmetric point group contains an inversion center as one of its symmetry elements. [1] In such a point group, for every point (x, y, z) in the unit cell there is an indistinguishable point (-x, -y, -z).

  5. Symmetry of diatomic molecules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_of_diatomic_molecules

    Molecular symmetry in physics and chemistry describes the symmetry present in molecules and the classification of molecules according to their symmetry. Molecular symmetry is a fundamental concept in the application of Quantum Mechanics in physics and chemistry, for example it can be used to predict or explain many of a molecule's properties, such as its dipole moment and its allowed ...

  6. Law of symmetry (crystallography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_symmetry...

    Centre of symmetry. If every face of a crystal has another identical face at an equal distance from a central point, then this point is called the centre of symmetry symbolised as i. A crystal can only have one centre of symmetry. A centre of symmetry is also known as point reflection, inversion symmetry, or centrosymmetry.

  7. Parent structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parent_structure

    Fundamental parent structures have one or no functional groups and often have various types of symmetry. Benzene ( C 6 H 6 ) is a chemical itself consisting of a hexagonal ring of carbon atoms with a hydrogen atom attached to each, and is the parent of many derivatives that have substituent atoms or groups replacing one or more of the hydrogens.

  8. Benzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzene

    Benzene is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C 6 H 6. The benzene molecule is composed of six carbon atoms joined in a planar hexagonal ring with one hydrogen atom attached to each. Because it contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms, benzene is classed as a hydrocarbon.

  9. Molecular orbital diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital_diagram

    The oxygen atomic orbitals are labeled according to their symmetry as a 1 for the 2s orbital and b 1 (2p x), b 2 (2p y) and a 1 (2p z) for the three 2p orbitals. The two hydrogen 1s orbitals are premixed to form a 1 (σ) and b 2 (σ*) MO. Mixing takes place between same-symmetry orbitals of comparable energy resulting a new set of MO's for water:
