सारांश	Molecular symmetry analysis is the systematic application of group theory to understand the structure, bonding, spectroscopy, and reactivity of molecules. Developed comprehensively by F. Albert Cotton and others from the 1960s onward, this framework uses the mathematical properties of molecular symmetry to predict allowed electronic transitions, molecular orbital shapes, vibrational modes, and reaction pathways.	Crystal Field Theory (CFT) is a model that explains the electronic structure, color, magnetism, and reactivity of coordination complexes by considering how the electric field created by surrounding ligands perturbs the d-orbitals of a central metal ion. Developed by Hans Bethe in 1929 and refined throughout the 20th century, CFT is one of the most powerful tools for understanding inorganic chemistry.
