For the XeF, planar molecule the vibrational symmetries are: F3N-6 A1+Big+B+ A+B₂+2E where the C₂ axes and o mirror planes are along the Xe-F bonds, and the C₂ axes and a mirror planes are between Xe F bonds. By counting doubly degenerate vibrations as 2 distinct vibrations and triply degenerate vibrations as 3 distinct vibrations, determine: The number of vibrations. The number of infrared active vibrations.. The number of Raman active vibrations.

For the XeF, planar molecule the vibrational symmetries are: F3N-6 A1+Big+B+ A+B₂+2E where the C₂ axes and o mirror planes are along the Xe-F bonds, and the C₂ axes and a mirror planes are between Xe F bonds. By counting doubly degenerate vibrations as 2 distinct vibrations and triply degenerate vibrations as 3 distinct vibrations, determine: The number of vibrations. The number of infrared active vibrations.. The number of Raman active vibrations. The number of vibrations observed in both the infrared and Raman spectrum. v) The number of vibrations not observed in either the infrared or Raman spectrum. The number and symmetries of the Xe-F stretches.
