Question:
(a) To which point group does a trigonal bipyramidal XY5 belong? Determine the number and symmetries of the stretching modes of vibration for this molecule.
(b) The IR spectrum of gaseous PF5 exhibits absorptions at 1026 and 944 cm–1. Show that this observation is consistent with your answer to part (a). How many absorptions would you expect to observe in the Raman spectrum of gaseous PF5 arising from stretching modes?

As a Business Management graduate from Moi University, I had the opportunity to work as a tutor for undergraduate students in the same field. This experience allowed me to apply the theoretical knowledge I had gained in a practical setting, while also honing my teaching and communication skills.
As a tutor, I was responsible for conducting tutorial sessions, grading assignments and exams, and providing feedback and support to my students. I also assisted with the preparation of course materials and collaborated with other tutors and professors to ensure consistency in teaching and assessment.
