What is the symmetry element of CHCl3?

Chloroform (CHCl3) has a symmetry element known as a C3 axis, which means it has a three-fold rotational symmetry. This axis allows for a rotation of 120 degrees around the central carbon atom, after which the molecule appears indistinguishable from its original orientation. Additionally, CHCl3 has a horizontal mirror plane (σ) that bisects the molecule, reflecting the three chlorine atoms and the hydrogen atom across this plane.
