Chapter 14, Problem 43P

Draw all of the π molecular orbitals for (3E)-1,3,5-hexatriene, order them from lowest to highest in energy, and indicate the number of electrons that would be found in each in the ground state for the molecule. After doing so, open the computer molecular model for (3E)-1,3,5-hexatriene and display the calculated molecular orbitals. How well does the appearance and sequence of the orbitals you drew (e.g., number of nodes, overall symmetry of each, etc.) compare with the orbitals in the calculated model? Are the same orbitals populated with electrons in your analysis as in the calculated model?

TOPIC: QUANTUM, ATOMIC AND MOLECULAR PHYSICIS (a) Using Hückel's method, describe the energy of the molecular orbitals T of cyclobutadiene C4H4, which is a flat molecule made up of a square ring of carbons, as shown in the figure; (b) Do the same for 1,3-butadiene C4H6, which is an elongated planar molecule, as shown in the figure. (c) In both cases, draw an energy diagram indicating the filling of the orbitals and identifying the HOMO and the LUMO. Sketch by hand schematically (using two colors to distinguish the lobes from the 2pz orbitals) the result obtained for the orbitals, identifying them with the corresponding energy. If possible, you can use the Orbital Viewer program to plot the orbitals.
