@Dreskii27 the 'v' in C2v designates that there is a symmetry plane that is in line with primary rotation axis.
An 'h' plane is perpendicular to the primary rotation axis. If it was C2h that would mean there was only a reflection plane perpendicular to the primary rotation axis because the vertical takes precedence of horizontal in the naming schema.
and like C2v, what does the v mean
