If Possible could you then show me how you would do the same
thing but for the pi donation to the ligands as well. this question
assumes it will be a metal that obeys the 18 electron rule, most
likely first or second row transition metal.

(c) Consider a square-pyramidal transition-metal compound ML5. Use group theory to calculate the symmetries of the o-bonds. Which metal valence orbitals take part in bonding and which are non-bonding? Sketch any ligand group orbitals which exist as a degenerate pair. (You are not required to sketch an energy-level diagram for the molecule). (7 marks)
