P24.23 The allyl cation CH₂=CH-CH₂ has a delocal- ized 7 network that can be described by the Hückel method. Derive the MO energy levels of this species and place the electrons in the levels appropriate for the ground state. Using the butadiene MOs as an example, sketch what you would expect the MOs to look like. Classify the MOs as bonding, antibonding, or nonbonding.

17. Which statement is true according to molecular orbital (MO) theory. (a) Mixing an odd number of AOs always gives an odd number of MOs. A (b) To make MOs, all AOs (atomic orbitals) must be of the same kind (for n example, p can only mix with p). (c) Each MO can hold up to four electrons. (d) None of the above are true. 2020
