THEORY (45 Hours)

UNIT-I: Symmetry and Group Theory (11 Hours)
Fundamentals: Introduction to symmetry and group theory, symmetry operations, symmetry
elements, point groups, identification of point group in molecules of special symmetry (linear
molecules and molecules with multiple axes) molecules of low symmetry, molecules of high
symmetry, notation of point group, assignment of point group, definitions of group, subgroup,
class, relation between orders of a finite group and its subgroup
