This paper deals with finite groups. J. L. Brenner and James Wiegold defined a finite group \(G\) as lying in \(\Gamma^{(2)}_1\) if \(G\) is nonabelian and for every \(1\neq x\in G\), either \(x\) is an involution and \(G=\langle x,y\rangle\) for some \(y\in G\) or \(x\) is not an involution and there is an involution \(z\in G\) with \(G=\langle x,z\rangle\). We expand the work of Brenner and Wiegold, and that of Martin J. Evans in the investigation of which finite groups lie in \(\Gamma^{(2)}_1\).
