Follow from Ex 4.7 in the textbook, let's assume that the 1o 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?
