Square table symmetry
« on: March 21, 2014, 06:04:22 PM »
I know a C4 has a square table symmetry. Are there c2 axes in a square table? I know there is no c4 in a rectangular table and two c2 (I believe)

"I know a square table has a c4 symmetry"- my sentence should have started like that. Sorry about that.

A square table has mirror planes (assuming four legs at the table corners). The C4 point group does not.
