Consider the molecule F2C=CF2 (point group D2h), and take it as lying in the xy-plane, with x directed along the C–C bond. (a) Consider a basis formed from the four 2pz orbitals from the fluorine atoms: show that the basis spans B1u, B2g, B3g, and Au. (b) By applying the projection formula to one of the 2pz orbitals, generate the SALCs with the indicated symmetries.
