5. The energy levels of a Particle in a Box are given by En = n²h² 8mL² n = 1, 2, 3,... If we treat the conjugated pi electrons in 1,3,5,7-octatetraene with a Particle in Box model, what would be the quantum number for the highest occupied molecular orbital? How would you estimate the length of the box? 5. The energy levels of a Particle in a Box are given by En = n²h² 8mL² n = 1, 2, 3,...
