You processed the algorithm correctly - the point group of the staggered ethane is D3d . Complete far so thoroughly the following training steps!

Determine now the point group of the HCN molecule:

1. Type of the axis of rotation
2. further symmetry elements
The group of points of the HCN is...
Remember this pattern exactly! We already operated in the preceding training steps thereafter.

Compare your solution with training step 138 !
