Question

How does the shading and phase change in molecular orbitals affect the energy states in a 4-atom conjugated system?

Accepted Answer

Shading and phase changes increase the energy of antibonding orbitals.

Answer

Shading and phase changes only affect the HOMO and LUMO.

Answer

Shading and phase changes have no effect on energy states.

Answer

Shading and phase changes decrease the energy of bonding orbitals.
