Answer to Problem 28.2P
The molecular orbitals
Explanation of Solution
In molecular orbital theory, the MO is said to be symmetric or anti-symmetric is depend on the relative phase of the two terminal carbons. In symmetric MO, the peaks reflect across the reference plane into the peaks and troughs reflect into troughs. On the other hand, in antisymmetric MO, the peaks reflect into troughs and vice versa. According to the general principle, the even number molecular orbitals are antisymmetric and odd number molecular orbitals are symmetric. Therefore, the molecular orbitals
