Question: ( a ) In formaldehyde ( methanal ) determine the irreducible representation which each of the following AOs on the carbon transforms as: the 2

(a) In formaldehyde (methanal) determine the irreducible representation which each of the following AOs on the carbon transforms as: the 2s, the three 2p AOs and the five 3d. Repeat the process forthe corresponding AOs on the oxygen.
(b) The species [PtCl2Br2]
2 has square planar coordination about the platinum atom with the two
chlorine ligands being placed at opposite corners of the square. Determine the point group and
hence the irreducible representation for each of the five 5d AOs on the platinum.
