E10CAla) Consider the C, molecule OF, take the molecule to lie in the yz-plane, with z directed along the C, axis; the mirror plane o, is the yz-plane, and o, is the xz-plane. The combination p(A) + p.(B) of the two F atoms spans A, and the combination p,(A)- P.(B) of the two Fatoms spans B.. Are there any valence orbitals of the central O atom that can have a non-zero overlap with these combinations of F orbitals? How would the situation be different in SF, where 3d orbitals might be available? E10C.4(b) Consider the same situation as in Exercise E10C.4(a). Find the irreducible representations spanned by the combinations p,(A) + p,(B) and P,(A) - P,(B). Are there any valence orbitals of the central O atom that can have a non-zero overlap with these combinations of F orbitals?

Consider the ClO4 – anion. Use symmetry analysis to determine the orbitals used in bonding by the central atom.

Rather these orbitals must be operated on together, an inseparable pair.
