Draw an MO energy diagram for the following: cyclooctatrienyl di-anion (Use "polygon-on-corner" method... aka Frost circle method). If done correctly, your diagram should show that all major bonding shells are full. Which of the following is true of the remaining part of the diagram? Select one: O A. There is a nonbonding electronic shell that has 2 unpaired electrons, all antibonding MO's are empty. O B. There is a nonbonding electronic shell that is full, and the lowest energy antibonding shell has 2 unpaired electrons. OC. There is a nonbonding electronic shell that is full, and all antibonding MO's are empty. OD. The species contains bonding and antibonding MO's, but no nonbonding MO's are present. E. There is a nonbonding shell that is empty, and all antibonding MO's are empty.

Question
Draw an MO energy diagram for the following: cyclooctatrienyl di-anion (Use "polygon-on-corner" method... aka Frost
circle method).
If done correctly, your diagram should show that all major bonding shells are full. Which of the following is true of the
remaining part of the diagram?
Select one:
O A. There is a nonbonding electronic shell that has 2 unpaired electrons. all antibonding MO's are empty.
OB. There is a nonbonding electronic shell that is full, and the lowest energy antibonding shell has 2 unpaired
electrons.
OC. There is a nonbonding electronic shell that is full, and all antibonding MO's are empty.
OD.
The species contains bonding and antibonding MO's, but no nonbonding MO's are present.
O E. There is a nonbonding shell that is empty, and all antibonding MO's are empty.
