Group Theory-- A Brief Introduction

In one of our first posts, we briefly introduced the concept of mathematical group theory and how that relates to chemistry. Specifically, different symmetric molecules with different types of symmetryies are placed in different "groups," which have special mathematical and chemical properties of their own.

Before we begin on our chemathical journey, check out this introductory video! It offers a lot of information and explanations to group theory.

We hope you enjoy! We'll discuss more in depth about this topic in upcoming posts! (:
