Answer the following questions about the cyclopropenyl anion: a. How many T-electrons does the compound have? b. Draw the molecular orbital (MO) energy diagram for the cyclopropenyl anion. You must label the bonding and antibonding orbitals and place the r-electrons in the orbitals. (You do not need to draw pictures of the orbitals, just arrange the energy levels.) c. Is cyclopropenyl anion aromatic, antiaromatic or nonaromatic? Explain by referring to your MO diagram.
