Use symmetry analysis to generate a molecular orbital


Use symmetry analysis to generate a molecular orbital diagram for XeF4. As a basis set, consider one σ-bonding hybrid on each F that can be treated the same way as a hydrogen 1s orbital. Ignore the lone pairs/ p orbitals on Flourine.

Now show what additional interactions could occur if Xe d-orbitals participate in bonding. How would this affect the bond order?
