Question

1. Determine the symmetries of the 3d, 4s and 4p atomic orbitals of the central atom in a square planar ML4, molecule

2. Sketch the ligand group orbitals, assign symmetry and label them.

Please help me answer these two questions, I do not understand the mechanism behind this, only got few parts right, how to get these with the character tables?

3) Determine the symmetries of the 3d, 4s and 4p atomic orbitals of the central atom in a square planar MLs molecule (2 marks) Azu 4p orbitals: 4p 4py 4p, 4s orbital: 4 A 3d orbitals: 3dy 3dy 3d 3d 3d y The symmetries of the four ligand group orbitals (SALCs) are Ai, Big and E x2-y2 81 Sketch the ligand group orbitals and assign the symmetry labels to them: 3 marks)
