C. Below are the molecular orbital energy diagrams for the cyclopentadienyl anion and cycloheptatrienyl cation. For the cyclopentadienyl anion, three out of five molecular orbitals (more than half) are bonding molecular orbitals. For the cycloheptatrienyl cation, three out of seven (less than half) molecular orbitals are bonding molecular orbitals. Briefly explain this difference.
