Abstract
Symmetry Elements and Operations is a multimedia presentation that illustrates the basics of symmetry with three dimensional molecular models and simple text explanations. Three-dimensional graphics and animations are used to define and characterize the symmetry elements commonly encountered in chemical structures. They include identity (E), inversion center (i), proper rotation axis (Cn), plane of symmetry (sigma), and improper (rotation-reflection) axis (Sn).
