Water belongs to the C2v point group with the symmetry elements shown below: Ov Ov, C2 Along with the identity operator, E, these elements lead to all the operations of the group. Explain what is meant by a closed group, and show that the C2v point group is closed by drawing up a complete multiplication table. You should explain each result in the table using either algebraic arguments or illustrating the compound operation.
