Consider the molecules: CH2=CH-CH=CH-CH=CH-CH=CH-CH=CH2. Let’s assume that the 10 electrons that make up the double bonds can exist everywhere along the carbon chains. The electrons can then be considered as particles in a box; the ends of the molecule correspond to the boundaries of the box with a finite or zero potential energy inside. In this “molecular box”, 2 electrons can occupy an energy level. What are quantum states that the electrons from this molecule can occupy in the ground state? Note that the length of a C-C bond is about 1.54A and the length of a C=C bond is 1.34A to allow you to estimate the length of the “molecular box”
