Molecular Symmetry
Molecular Symmetry Symmetry helps us understand molecular structure, some chemical properties, and characteristics of physical properties (spectroscopy) – used with group theory to predict vibrational spectra for the identification of molecular shape, and as a tool for understanding electronic structure and bonding. Symmetrical : implies the species possesses a number of indistinguishable configurations. 1 Group Theory : mathematical treatment of symmetry. symmetry operation – an operation performed on an object which leaves it in a configuration that is indistinguishable from, and superimposable on, the original configuration. symmetry elements – the points, lines, or planes to which a symmetry operation is carried out. Element Operation Symbol Identity Identity E Symmetry plane Reflection in the plane σ Inversion center Inversion of a point x,y,z to -x,-y,-z i Proper axis Rotation by (360/n)° Cn 1. Rotation by (360/n)° Improper axis S 2. Reflection in plane perpendicular to rotation axis n Proper axes of rotation (C n) Rotation with respect to a line (axis of rotation). •Cn is a rotation of (360/n)°. •C2 = 180° rotation, C 3 = 120° rotation, C 4 = 90° rotation, C 5 = 72° rotation, C 6 = 60° rotation… •Each rotation brings you to an indistinguishable state from the original. However, rotation by 90° about the same axis does not give back the identical molecule. XeF 4 is square planar. Therefore H 2O does NOT possess It has four different C 2 axes. a C 4 symmetry axis. A C 4 axis out of the page is called the principle axis because it has the largest n . By convention, the principle axis is in the z-direction 2 3 Reflection through a planes of symmetry (mirror plane) If reflection of all parts of a molecule through a plane produced an indistinguishable configuration, the symmetry element is called a mirror plane or plane of symmetry . -

Preface The intention of this account is to provide a description of the octahedral sym- metry groups { symmetry group(s) of the cube. We first give the basic idea (without proofs) of mathematical crystallography, namely that the 219 space groups correspond to the 7 crystal systems. After this we come to describing cubic lattices { such ones that are built from \cubic cells". Finally, among the cubic lattices, we discuss briefly the ones on which O and Oh act. After this we provide lists of the elements and the subgroups of Oh. A presentation of Oh in terms of generators and relations { using the Dynkin diagram B3 is also given. It is our hope that this account is accessible to both { the mathematician and the engineer. The picture on the title page reflects Ha¨uy'sidea of crystal structure [4]. -

CK-12 FoundationChapter10RulesforTranslationsB 18 www.ck12.org Chapter 1. Unit 1: Transformations, Congruence and Similarity Guidance In geometry, a transformation is an operation that moves, flips, or changes a shape (called the preimage) to create a new shape (called the image). A translation is a type of transformation that moves each point in a figure the same distance in the same direction. Translations are often referred to as slides. You can describe a translation using words like "moved up 3 and over 5 to the left" or with notation. There are two types of notation to know. T x y 1. One notation looks like (3, 5). This notation tells you to add 3 to the values and add 5 to the values. 2. The second notation is a mapping rule of the form (x,y) → (x−7,y+5). This notation tells you that the x and y coordinates are translated to x − 7 and y + 5. The mapping rule notation is the most common. Example A Sarah describes a translation as point P moving from P(−2,2) to P(1,−1). -

2-D Drawing Geometry Homogeneous Coordinates
2-D Drawing Geometry Homogeneous Coordinates The rotation of a point, straight line or an entire image on the screen, about a point other than origin, is achieved by first moving the image until the point of rotation occupies the origin, then performing rotation, then finally moving the image to its original position. The moving of an image from one place to another in a straight line is called a translation. A translation may be done by adding or subtracting to each point, the amount, by which picture is required to be shifted. Translation of point by the change of coordinate cannot be combined with other transformation by using simple matrix application. Such a combination is essential if we wish to rotate an image about a point other than origin by translation, rotation again translation. To combine these three transformations into a single transformation, homogeneous coordinates are used. In homogeneous coordinate system, two-dimensional coordinate positions (x, y) are represented by triple- coordinates. Homogeneous coordinates are generally used in design and construction applications. Here we perform translations, rotations, scaling to fit the picture into proper position 2D Transformation in Computer Graphics- In Computer graphics, Transformation is a process of modifying and re- positioning the existing graphics. • 2D Transformations take place in a two dimensional plane. • Transformations are helpful in changing the position, size, orientation, shape etc of the object. Transformation Techniques- In computer graphics, various transformation techniques are- 1. Translation 2. Rotation 3. Scaling 4. Reflection 2D Translation in Computer Graphics- In Computer graphics, 2D Translation is a process of moving an object from one position to another in a two dimensional plane. -

Grenier1 and R. Ballou2 1SPSMS, UMR-E 9001, CEA-INAC / UJF-Grenoble, MDN, 38054 Grenoble, France 2Institut Néel, CNRS / UJF, 25 rue des Martyrs, BP. 166, 38042 Grenoble Cedex 9, France Abstract. This lecture is aimed at giving a sufficient background on crystallography, as a reminder to ease the reading of the forthcoming chapters. It more precisely recalls the crystallographic restrictions on the space isometries, enumerates the point groups and the crystal lattices consistent with these, examines the structure of the space group, which gathers all the spatial invariances of a crystal, and describes a few dual notions. It next attempts to familiarize us with the representation analysis of physical states and excitations of crystals. 1. INTRODUCTION Crystallography covers a wide spectrum of investigations: i- it aspires to get an insight into crystallization phenomena and develops methods of crystal growths, which generally pertains to the physics of non linear irreversible processes; ii- it geometrically describes the natural shapes and the internal structures of the crystals, which is carried out most conveniently by borrowing mathematical tools from group theory; iii- it investigates the crystallized matter at the atomic scale by means of diffraction techniques using X-rays, electrons or neutrons, which are interpreted in the dual context of the reciprocal space and transposition therein of the crystal symmetries; iv- it analyzes the imperfections of the crystals, often directly visualized in scanning electron, tunneling or force microscopies, which in some instances find a meaning by handling unfamiliar concepts from homotopy theory; v- it aims at providing means for discerning the influences of the crystal structure on the physical properties of the materials, which requires to make use of mathematical methods from representation theory. -

Translation and Reflection; Geometry
Translation and Reflection Reporting Category Geometry Topic Translating and reflecting polygons on the coordinate plane Primary SOL 7.8 The student, given a polygon in the coordinate plane, will represent transformations (reflections, dilations, rotations, and translations) by graphing in the coordinate plane. Materials Graph paper or individual whiteboard with the coordinate plane Tracing paper or patty paper Translation Activity Sheet (attached) Reflection Activity Sheets (attached) Vocabulary polygon, vertical, horizontal, negative, positive, x-axis, y-axis, ordered pair, origin, coordinate plane (earlier grades) translation, reflection (7.8) Student/Teacher Actions (what students and teachers should be doing to facilitate learning) 1. Introduce the lesson by discussing moves on a checkerboard. Note that a move is made by sliding the game piece to a new position. Explain that the move does not affect the size or shape of the game piece. Use this to lead into a discussion on translations. Review horizontal and vertical moves. Review moving in a positive or negative direction on the coordinate plane. 2. Distribute copies of the Translation Activity Sheet, and have students graph the trapezoid. Guide students in completing the sheet. Emphasize the use of the prime notation for the translated figure. 3. Introduce reflection by discussing mirror images. 4. Distribute copies of the Reflection Activity Sheet, and have students graph the trapezoid. Guide students in completing the sheet. Emphasize the use of the prime notation for the translated figure. 5. Give students additional practice. Individual whiteboards could be used for this practice. Assessment Questions o How does translating a figure affect the size, shape, and position of that figure? o How does rotating a figure affect the size, shape, and position of that figure? o What are the differences between a translated polygon and a reflected polygon? Journal/Writing Prompts o Describe what a scalene triangle looks like after being reflected over the y-axis. -
