5. Draw all five pi Molecular Orbitals of the cyclopentadienyl cation using appropriate shading. Indicate the relative energies of each MO by analyzing the number of bonding and anti bonding interactions. Label each MO as either bonding, non-bonding or antibonding. Show how the four pi electrons occupy the lowest energy MOs. Repeat with cyclopentadienyl radical (5 pi electrons) and cyclopentadienyl anion ( 6 pi electrons). Label the cyclopentadienyl cation, radical and anion as either aromatic, non aromatic or anti-aromatic. * = + or. or -
