What is it called when one group alternates with another group?
The alternating group on a set of n elements is called the alternating group of degree n, or the alternating group on n letters and denoted by An or Alt(n).

four conjugacy classes
There are four conjugacy classes in A4: {(1)}, {(12)(34),(13)(24),(14)(23)}, {(123),(243),(134),(142)}, {(132),(234),(143),(124)}.
How many conjugacy classes are there in a symmetric group?
There is a total of 5 conjugacy classes, of which 3 are unsplit from symmetric group:S5, and 2 are a split pair arising from a single conjugacy class in . The conjugacy class sizes are 1, 12, 12, 15, 20. Please read element structure of symmetric groups for a summary description.
Is the alternating group A5 a symmetric group?
The outer automorphism group of alternating group:A5 is cyclic group:Z2, and the whole automorphism group is symmetric group:S5. Since alternating group:A5 is a centerless group, it embeds as a subgroup of index two inside its automorphism group, which is symmetric group on five elements.
How is the alternating group of degree five defined?
The alternating group, also denoted, and termed the alternating group of degree five, is defined in the following ways: It is the group of even permutations (viz., the alternating group) on five elements.
What is the automorphism group of alternating group A5?
See alternating groups are simple . Note that A5 is simple, and hence no proper nontrivial subgroup is normal or subnormal . The outer automorphism group of alternating group:A5 is cyclic group:Z2, and the whole automorphism group is symmetric group:S5.
