<font face="serif">The symmetry capsule is now available on the
class website. This is a small self-study exercise to acquaint
you with the basic ideas of symmetry, symmetry operations on
molecules, and point groups. You may work together to complete
the exercises, but please make sure you know how to identify
symmetry elements and point groups as they will appear in
discussions we have in the future related bonding, spectroscopy,
and statistical mechanics.<br>
<br>
Your individualized data sets are also available for this project
on the class web page. Use the same password that you used to
access the data for the computational tools capsule. To view the
Cartesian geometry files I recommend that you use the program
JMol. You can get a copy off of the USEFUL LINKS section of the
class webpage.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you have any questions.<br>
