The molecular orbital diagrams for linear chains of hydro-gen atoms with two and four atoms in the chain are shown in Figure 12.1. Construct a molecular orbital diagram for a chain containing six hydrogen atoms and use it to answer the following questions. (a) How many molecular orbitals are there in the diagram? (b) How many nodes are there in the lowest energy molecular orbital? (c) How many nodes are there in the highest energy molecular orbital? (d) How many nodes are there in the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)? (e) How many nodes are there in the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO)?
