8. Find the irreducible representations for the p, orbitals of all 3 fluorine atoms in BF. Clearly show your work and drawings of the molecular geometry and relevant orbitals. Hint: Make sure the p. orbitals are oriented so that the rotation oneration leave them indistinguishable. Otherwise, approach this problem like question #7.

6. Consider the p orbitals of the boron atom in BFs. With what symmetry does each p orbital transform? Clearly indicate the point group of the molecule. 7. Find the irreducible representations for the p: orbitals of all 3 fluorine atoms in BFs. Clearly show your work and drawings of the molecular geometry and relevant orbitals. Hint: First, draw a coordinate system. Second, sketch the geometry of the molecule. Third, draw a p: orbital on each fluorine atom. Fourth, find the reducible representation that describes all three p; orbitals at the same time. Fifth, reduce that reducible representation. 8. Find the irreducible representations for the px orbitals of all 3 fluorine atoms in BFs. Clearly show your work and drawings of the molecular geometry and relevant orbitals. Hint: Make sure the px orbitals are oriented so that the rotation operation leave them Indistinguishable. Otherwise, approach this problem like question #7.
