The Fedorov-Groth law points out that, on average, chemical simplicity corresponds to higher symmetry, and chemically complex compounds usually have lower symmetry than chemically simple compounds. Using mineralogical data, it is demonstrated that the Fedorov-Groth law is valid and statistically meaningful, when chemical complexity is expressed as the amount of Shannon chemical information per atom and the degree of symmetry as the order of the point group of a mineral.
费多罗夫-格罗特定律指出，一般来说，化学简单性对应于更高的对称性，化学复杂的化合物通常比化学简单的化合物具有更低的对称性。利用矿物学数据表明，当化学复杂性用每个原子的香农化学信息量表示，对称性程度用矿物点群的阶表示时，费多罗夫-格罗特定律是有效的且具有统计学意义。
