Platonic Solids and Polyhedral Groups Symmetry in the face of congruence

What is a platonic solid? A polyhedron is three dimensional analogue to a polygon A convex polyhedron all of whose faces are congruent Plato proposed ideal form of classical elements constructed from regular polyhedrons

Examples of Platonic Solids Five such solids exist: –Tetrahedron –Hexahedron –Octahedron –Dodecahedron –Icosahedron Why? –Geometric reasons –Topological reasons

Tetrahedron Faces are all equilateral triangles 4 vertices 6 edges 4 faces Symmetry group: T d

Hexahedron Faces are all squares 8 vertices 12 edges 6 faces Symmetry group: O h

Octahedron Faces are all equilateral triangles 6 vertices 12 edges 8 faces Symmetry group: O h

Dodecahedron Faces are all pentagons 20 vertices 30 edges 12 faces Symmetry group: I h

Icosahedron Faces are all equilateral triangles 12 vertices 30 edges 20 faces Symmetry group: I h

Dual Polyhedrons Dual transformation T swaps vertices and faces The dual of a platonic solid is another platonic solid Ex: Dual of hexahedron is octahedron Point symmetry operations leave faces and vertices invariant

T d Group (Tetrahedral Symmetry) Non-Abelian group of order 24 Symmetry operations permute the vertices Each face is invariant under dihedral-6 group operations (Symmetry of other solids destroys this analogy)

O h Group (Octahedral Symmetry) Non-Abelian group of order 48 Each face of the hexahedron is invariant under dihegral-8 group operations Each face of the octahedron is invariant under dihedral-6 group operations Dihedral operations on each face permute only half the vertices:

I h Group (Icosahedral Symmetry) Non-Abelian group of order 120 Each face of the dodecahedron is invariant under dihedral-10 group operations Each face of the icosahedron is invariant under dihedral-6 group operations Decomposition into alternating group:

Applications Patterning via Cayley tables

More Molecular symmetries Ex: SF6 –Hilarious gas
