Q4: The cyclopropenyl radical has three carbon atoms situated at the corners of an equilateral triangle. Molecular orbitals for the r-electrons can be approximated by linear combinations of the 2p, orbitals of the carbon atoms. Determine the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for the radical in the Hückel approximation and find the total energy of the three 7-electrons for the ground state.
