Show the electron distribution in the molecular orbitals of the cycloh

1.	Show the electron distribution in the molecular orbitals of the cycloheptatrienyl cation. Strategy: Use the polygon-andj-crcle method for deriving the relative energies of the Mos.
Answer» Solution :The polygon-and-circle medthod shows that the three lowest ENERGY `MOs` are below the DIAMETER and are bonding The FOUR HIGHEST energy ones are above the diameter and are antibonding `MO s`
