Chapter 10, Problem 10A.4P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The point groups of all geometrical isomers for the complex ${\text{MA}}_{\text{2}}{\text{B}}_{\text{2}}{\text{C}}_{\text{2}}$ have to be stated.  The chiral geometrical isomers for the complex have to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

A symmetry operation is defined as an action on an object to reproduce an arrangement that is identical to its original spatial arrangement.  The group of symmetry operations of which at least one point is kept fixed is called point group.  The symmetry operations can be identity, rotation, reflection, inversion and improper rotation.
