The top-view of the p orbitals in 1,3,5,7-octatetraene that combine to make six of the eight ? MOs are shown below (black is positive phase and white is negative phase): H 1,3,5,7-ocatatetraene Which combination is the lowest energy orbital? B OD E LL
Expert Answer
In pi molecular orbitals, energy of the ? MOs is proportional to the number of node present in it i.e. higher the number
