In the square planar XeF 4 molecule, consider the symmetry-adapted linear combination p 1 = p A

Question:

In the square planar XeF4 molecule, consider the symmetry-adapted linear combination p1= pA −pB +pC −pD where pA, pB, pC, and pD are 2pz atomic orbitals on the fluorine atoms (clockwise labelling of the F atoms). Using the reduced point group D4 rather than the full symmetry point group of the molecule, determine which of the various s, p, and d atomic orbitals on the central Xe atom can form molecular orbitals with p1.
