Derivatives of methane can be obtained by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms with other atoms, such as F, Cl, or Br. Suppose you had a supply of methane and the necessary chemicals and equipment to make derivatives of methane containing all possible combinations of the elements H, F, Cl, and Br. What would be the point groups of the molecules you could make? There are many possible molecules, and they can be arranged into five sets for assignment of point groups.
