cyclobutadiene C4H4, 1,3-butadiene C4H6, In both cases, draw an energy diagram indicating the filling of the orbitals and identifying the HOMO and the LUMO. Sketch by hand schematically (using two colors to distinguish the lobes from the 2pz orbitals) the result obtained for the orbitals, identifying them with the corresponding energy. If possible, you can use the Orbital Viewer program to plot the orbitals.
