Symmetry Elements of Planar Motifs: Planar Symmetry Elements of Planar Motifs: Planar Point GroupsPoint Groups
10 Possible symmetry combinations; called Planar Point Groups
Limitations of rotational symmetries: (1,2,3,4, & 6)
dark lines added “found mirrors”
Point groups have labels that are similar to Hermann Mauguin symbols.For example: 2mm shown has the a axis with a two fold rotational axis, and b and c have mirrors
A point group is a group of geometric symmetries that keep at least one point fixed.

A point group is a group of geometric symmetries that keep at least one point fixed.
A space group is some combination of the translational symmetry of a unit cell including lattice centering, the point group symmetry operations of reflection, rotation and rotoinversion, and the screw axis and glide plane symmetry operations. The combination of all these symmetry operations results in a total of 230 unique space groups describing all possible crystal symmetries.
