We want to regard in addition further examples.

At the hypothetical molecule AB 4 we execute the symmetry operations C 2 and s at the symmetry elements C 2 and s drawn in in the figure successively:

That is, the stepwise made of the symmetry operations C 2 and s leads by this example to the same result as the execution of the operation C 4 at the axis of rotation C 4 going perpendicularly to the molecule plane through A .
