    Centre of symmetry

    Alternate axis of symmetry is the line passing through the molecular structure around which if rotated through an angle X followed by reflection on a mirror placed at right angle to the axis produces the same face of the molecule.

    Again I highly recommend you to watch the video.

    Simun Once you watch the video then please ask if you don't get it

    I m wiching this before u suggest

    There are mainly four types of symmetry. Plane of symmetry, axis of symmetry, alternate axis of symmetry and centre of symmetry. If any compound has pos or aaos or cos then molecule is achiral

    what is pos or aaos or cos?

    eduncle-logo-app

    plane of symmetry, alternate axis of symmetry, centre of symmetry.

    can u give me proper explanation ..about this ...?

    Plane of symmetry: a plane through a molecule that divides the molecule into two parts that are mirror images of each other

    There is only one universal way to check chirality. Draw it's 3D mirror image and if it non super imposable then it is chiral. There is several ways to check on paper. For that you have to know symmetry. 99% of the compound is achiral due to plane of symmetry.
