Consider each of the following ideal geometries for MXnmolecules (n = 3-6) and thte distortions described for each. Whatare the point groups of the ideal geometries and the distortedgeometries? 11. MX3 trigonal planar distorted by lifting the M atomout of the plane.

12. MX4 tetrahedral distorted by slightly flattening themolecule along on of the C2 axes.

13. MX5 trigonal bipyramid distorted by equally elongating thetwo axial bonds.

14. MX6 octahedral distorted by slightly closing the 90º anglesbetween the three M-X bonds in both sets of the cis-relatedpositions.

15. MX6 trigonal prism distorted by a 45º rotation of one of thetriangular faces.
