Explain what is meant by irreducible representations, non-degenerate representations and degenerate representations. Which point groups will have degenerate directional properties?

Apply the projection operator method to derive the group orbital SALCs for BF3

Give all the symmetry elements in the following molecules, and assign the point group of each. a ) Xe(0) F4 b) cyclo-(C5H5) - c) IF 7 (pentagonal bipyramidal) d) Boric acid (right - assume it's rigid)

given the point group of NO2 is C2v, taking as a basis the N(2p), N(2s), and O(2p) orbitals provide the irreducible representations generated by these basis and construct the Symmetry Adapted Linear Combinations (SALC's)

2)  Use the C2 point group to illustrate that the irreducible representations in a character table are mutually orthogonal and normalized to the order of the group .
