A symmetry operation is a mathematical action that can be performed on a geometric figure or object, resulting in a transformation that leaves the object looking the same as it did before the operation. These operations are essential for classifying the symmetry properties of crystals and are fundamental in understanding point groups and space groups, which categorize the various symmetries found in crystallographic structures.
