Question

The molecule on the right belongs to __________ point group.

 

Please see photo for more detail. 

**Transcription for Educational Website:**

**Question:**

The molecule on the right belongs to ________ point group.

**Options:**

A. \( C_i \)

B. \( C_{1} \)

C. \( C_{2v} \)

D. \( C_{3v} \)

E. \( D_{3h} \)

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram depicts a molecule with a central carbon (C) atom bonded to four different groups. 

- The central carbon is bonded to two other carbon atoms, labeled as C.
- There is a bond depicted as a solid wedge leading to a bromine (Br) atom, indicating it protrudes out from the plane.
- Another bond is depicted as a dashed wedge, indicating the iodine (I) atom is behind the plane.
- The planar fluorine (F) atom bond is illustrated with a regular line.

The geometry suggests a tetrahedral arrangement with varying bond types to indicate different spatial orientations, crucial for determining the molecule's point group symmetry.
