3 . (20 points) One of your friends hasjust madea pure sampleof PClFz.Your friend has had an introductorycoursein NMR, but hasnot taken CH 431, andthinks that the compoundshouldhave 3 fundamental vibrationsin the infra red spectrum. Work the following exerciseand find out if your friend is correct or not. For PClFz,use one of the character tablesprovided (in otherwords pick the point group) and determinethe following
