  3. List the elements of the symmetry group pm11. Is there a cyclic subgroup? What other subgroups are there?
  4. List the elements of the symmetry group p1a1. Is there a cyclic subgroup? What other subgroups are there?
  5. List the elements of the symmetry group p112. Is there a cyclic subgroup? What other subgroups are there?
  6. List the elements of the symmetry group p111. Is there a cyclic subgroup? What other subgroups are there?
