A hands-on symmetry project is proposed
as an innovative way of
teaching point groups to undergraduate chemistry students. Traditionally,
courses teaching symmetry require students to identify the point group
of a given object. This project asks the reverse: students are instructed
to identify an object that matches each point group. Doing so requires
students to think about symmetry in their everyday environment and
aids in the development of a more intrinsic understanding of the assignment
of symmetry classifications.
Abstract-Avariety of dinuclear MO(V), Mo(IV), Mo(II1) and Mo(1) complexes, and tri-and tetranuclear homo-and heterometallic complexes of molybdenum have been studied by "MO NMR. The MO
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
