Every molecule is assigned to a point group (that describes the symmetry) depending on which symmetry elements (axis of rotation, plane of symmetry, center of inversion are present). What are the point groups for each molecule of the following elements based on their symmetry elements? NH3, C6H6, p-dichlorobenzene, cos PtCl2(NH2)2?
