5. Given the following group multiplication table for the C4 point group C4 C4 C₂ C₁³ E E C4 C4 C4 C₂ S C₂ C₂³ C C₂ C₂ C4³ E C₂³ C4³ (a) MX2, linear, (b) MX2, bent (c) MX3, trigonal planar E C4 E C₁ By performing similarity transformations, show that C4 is in a class of its own. C₂ 6. Consider the three p orbitals px, py, and p, which are degenerate for an isolated atom M. If M is surrounded by several X atoms, the electrostatic field they create may lift the degeneracy among the p orbitals. By consulting the appropriate character table, describe the degree of degeneracy among the p orbitals allowed by symmetry for each of the following structures:
