elppp please...i know its long but help...Consider a planar SF4 molecule. (a) What is its point group symmetry? (b) What are the ligand group orbitals (LGOs) for such a molecule if you restrict your options to using only one p orbital on each fluorine atom? Orient each ligand p orbital along each F-S bond. Determine the symmetry of each LGO. (c) What are the symmetries of the valence orbitals on sulfur? (d) Construct a molecular orbital energy diagram for planar SF4. Place the valence electrons in the diagram. (e) Do you expect planar SF4 to be stable? Why or why not? (f) According to VSEPR, what is the shape you expect for SF4?

1. Below are two views of the triflate anion, CF3SO3−. a. Using the conventions learned in class, draw the following: i. A cartesian coordinate system. Indicate which view your coordinate system corresponds to. ii. The principal axis of rotation. Give the axis using the proper notation for symmetry elements. iii. One of the mirror planes. Name the mirror axis, including the name of the cartesian plane. b. List ALL unique symmetry operations present for triflate.
