Chapter 3: Symmetry Of Object

Proper Rotations

• C6 cubed is equivalent to a 180 degree rotation (C2)

• 4 C6s in a row is equivalent to C6 to the 4th power or a 240 degree rotation (C3 twice)

• Clockwise rotations are usually referred to as inverse rotations

• For n, it will always be a whole number

Additional Proper Rotations

• Perpendicular C2 axis results in F and B swapping places, and C and E swapping places

• There are 6 perpendicular C2 axes in total for the snowflake

• An object with a CN axis must have either 0 or n perpendicular C2 axes

• The principal axis of the snowflake is the C6 axis

• The snowflake has a C6, C3, C2, and 6 perpendicular C2 axes

Reflections

• Reflections are internal reflections through a plane of symmetry within the object

• The snowflake has multiple mirror planes, including a horizontal mirror plane (Sigma subh)

• There are 6 total mirror planes in the snowflake, including vertical and dihedral mirror planes

• Vertical mirror planes run along the arms and are parallel to the principal axis

• Dihedral mirror planes run between the arms and are parallel to the principal axis
