Question

For the molecular orbitals of 1,3,5-hexatriene, determine how the HOMO and LUMO and the symmetric and antisymmetric orbitals are related.

Accepted Answer

The LUMO is symmetric when the HOMO is antisymmetric, and vice versa.

Answer

The LUMO is antisymmetric when the HOMO is symmetric.

Answer

The LUMO is symmetric when the HOMO is antisymmetric.

Answer

HOMO and LUMO are both symmetric.
