Question

please answer the following wuestion and explain why.

Pago < 3 of 3 0 - 200 4. The molecule BrFs can be prepared by directly reacting Br with Fz at high temperature. (a) Draw a Lewis structure using Br as the central atom. (b) Identify the point group of this molecule. (C) Use the 2s orbitals of the F4 square arrangement of atoms to forma reducible representation in the point group from part d. (d) Reduce this representation to its irreducible components. (e) Use the remaining s orbitals of the linear diatomic BrF to make another reducible representation. What are the irreducible representations it is composed of? ( Draw pictures of all of the MOs you can form from your two fragments and order them from lowest to highest energy. (Hint: you only need to include orbitals that interact)
