Chemistry · Huckel Molecular Orbital Theory
For the molecule methylenecyclopropene, the roots obtained from the Hückel secular determinant can be approximated as x = -2.0, -0.30, +1.0, +1.5, where x = α - Eβ with E being the energy of a π orbital. The delocalization energy of methylenecyclopropene is: (Given that the total π electron energy of two isolated ethylene molecules is 4α + 4β)
- 12α + 2.6β
- 2-(2α + 1.7β)
- 30.6β✓
- 40.3β
Correct answer
0.6β
