1. Construct the two point group diagrams for point group 32. (45 secs)

symmetry elements equivalent points

2. CaF2 is Fm3m, a = 5.462 Å, Ca in 4 a, F in 8c. Make a drawing of the crystalstructure projected down [001]

The F atoms have how many Ca nearestneighbors (i.e., how many Ca atomstouch each F atom)?

Since a = 5.462 Å, what is the Ca-Fbond distance? (A simple geometrycalculation.)
