(a) Consider the four 1s orbitals on the hydrogen atoms of allene (numbered as shown). The
symmetry transformations of these functions are shown on the table below with two of
the symmetry operations omitted. Find the results for the two missing sets of results
(shaded red) and complete the table.
Here, |;) = |1s;) (the 1s orbital on atom Hi). (Note that the two C₂' axes from the
character table have been labeled C₂ and C₂", and the σd' plane contains the z-axis, H1
and Hz, while the σd" plane contains the z-axis, H3 and H4.)
