b. Use group theory to conduct an analysis of the vibrational spectroscopy of the trigonal planar BF3 molecule, which belongs to the D3h point group. In your answer, provide (i) The symmetries of the all the normal modes of vibration. [C (ii) Check the number of modes you predict with a simple formula to calculate the number of vibrational modes of a polyatomic molecule containing N atoms. (iii) Identify which are IR-active and which are Raman-active.
