269+ In RMG, chirality is incorportated into the symmetry attribute by dividing the symmetry by
270+ two which will increase entropy by :math: `+R * ln(2 )`. RMG currently checks for each chiral
271+ center, defined by 4 different groups attached to a carbon, and halves the symmetry
272+ for each chiral center.

274+ The effect of cis-trans isomers is currently not accounted for in RMG.
