A mathematical Group is a collection of elements that areinterrelated according to certain rules.
3. The product (combination) of any two elements and thesquare of each element must be an element in the group.
1. Identity element (E): one element in the group must
commute with all elements and leave them unchanged.
4. The associative law of multiplication must hold.
2. Every element must have a reciprocal.
AB or BA are they the same?Multiplication is commutative.
xy = yx and 3 x 6 = 6 x 3However, in the group theory, the commutative law doesnot in general hold. AB = C while BA = D, where C and Dare two more elements in the group.
EX = XE = X
A(BC) = (AB)C

Point Groups
A The set of symmetry operations describing themolecules overall symmetry is called the point group
of the molecule. Group with low order symmetry: C1, Cs, Ci Group with high order symmetry: Cv, Dh, Td, Oh, Ih D group: Dnh, Dnd, Dn

A group may be separated into smaller sets called classes.
To arrange the operations of a symmetry group into sets ofequivalent operations. Theses sets will be the classes.

Classes
- Similarity transformations refer to a matrixtransformation that results in a similarity.
If A and X are in a group,
B = X-1 A X A and B are conjugate.
(i) Every element is conjugate with itself.
(ii) If A is conjugate with B, then B is conjugate with A.
(iii) If A is conjugate with B and C, then B and C are conjugate with
each other.
A group may be separated into smaller sets called classes.
To arrange the operations of a symmetry group into sets ofequivalent operations. Theses sets will be the classes.
A complete set of elements that are conjugate to oneanother is called a class of the group.
