Question:

The cyclopropenyl cation has a three-membered ring that contains a continuous system of overlapping p orbitals. This system contains a total of two π electrons. Using a Frost circle, draw an energy diagram showing the relative energy levels of all three MOs, and then predict whether this cation is expected to exhibit aromatic stabilization.
