Chapter 3, Problem 7P

Using the answer to problem 3.6 to help you, deduce which symmetry elements are lost on going from (a) BF 3 to BClF 2 and (b) BClF 2 to BBrClF , is to be determined. (c) Which symmetry element (apart from E) is common to all three molecules?

Give the ground state electron configurations of(a) Li2 (b) Be2 (c) C2  .Use the symmetry-specific nomenclature appropriate for homonuclear diatomics. Example, Sg would stand for σg. Enclose each MO in parenthesis followed by the number of electrons in that MO, e.g., the entry (1Sg)2 would represent 1σg2. Letter P then is used to represent a pair of π MO's.
Define the term symmetry operations.
How to determine symmetry elements, σh and σν and how to differentiate between both. Also , how is σh related to E.
