4. The solution of the HMOs for the allyl cation gives the following in order of increasing electronic energy: H₂C + CH2 ¥₁ = (1/2) 1 + [1/(SQRT 2)] 2 + (1/2) 03 ¥2 = [1/(SQRT 2)] 1 - [1/(SQRT 2)] $3 = - Y3 (1/2) 01 [1/(SQRT 2)] 2 + (1/2) 03 Given these solutions, draw the three MOs with the correct phases and relative sizes.
