(a) Identify the symmetry elements in ethene and in allene, and assign each molecule to a point group. (b) Consider the biphenyl molecule, Ph–Ph, in which different conformations are possible according to the value of the dihedral angle between the planes of the two benzene rings: if this angle is 0°, the molecule is planar, if it is 90°, the two rings are perpendicular to one another. For each of the following dihedral angles, identify the symmetry elements present and hence assign the point group: (i) 0°, (ii) 90°, (iii) 45°, (iv) 60°.
