Explanation / Answer
Dichloromethane, CH2Cl2 has four symmetry operations E, C2, (xz)and (yz) form the point group C2v
Therefore Correct options are:
A) has one plane of symmetry, h
D) belongs to point group C2v
E) has one C2 axis of rotation
F) has a center of symmetry, i
G) has one plane of symmetry, v
