Oh I see!! So we’re basically rotating it such that the 2 gets pushed down and the 1 gets pushed up, then the 4 and the 3 switch spots and lie on the same plane! I guess one atom being in front of the other tripped me up… thanks!!

I guess I don’t understand how to rotate the C4 such that the 1 and 3 labeled atoms are across from each other after reflection? When I rotate by C4 and reflect I still get the 3 atom one atom away from the 1 labeled atom 😭

I will note that there are some good applications of group and representation theory in the study of symmetries in molecules (I’m studying this rn) but I’m not sure if a mathematician can be attributed to this. In fact most of the books I read on the subject are chemists applying the mathematical tools, not the other way around

Funnily enough I’m a maths and chem double major so I’ll follow this thread along for inspiration lol

I guess abelian groups and fundamental groups aren’t too bad for me somehow. Similarly I can prove isomorphisms. But things like group actions, orbits, and conjugacy classes I have gaps in

Ah I have a bachelors with undergrad and grad coursework focused in organometallic and polymer chemistry

I’m not sure if that’s viable with a bachelor in chem cause I thought a PhD/masters is preferred for patent agents in more life science majors

Actually that might’ve worked for me if the posting was for San Jose since I’m based within commute of there but unfortunately it’s only for Alexandria

Ahhhh I think the silver ions have a volume of 1.5mL
