symmetry
One of the geometrical properties of a chemical or any other structure. reflectional symmetry is the property of a molecule or object that permits it to be superimposed on its mirror image; rotational symmetry is a property that allows it to be rotated so that, in the new orientation, like groups exchange positions and the rotated orientation is indistinguishable from the original. (see also chirality; meso-carbon; Ogston hypothesis)
