The multiplicity and the Wyckoff letter say how many copies of the site the group makes in one cell and on which kind of symmetry element the site sits; the 10 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 8 operations. Press Wyckoff under Colour to see the sites, and tick a symmetry element on the left to see which atoms lie on it.

How to read the label

ABC3_tP10_100_b_a_bc-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol tP10, then the space-group number 100, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (N: 2a; N: 2b; O: 2b; O: 4c). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.

Note: G0₉, NH₄NO₃ II.
