4. The molecular orbital (MO) energy diagram for cyclopentadiene (compound pictured right) shows four distinct pi molecular orbitals at different energy levels. For this question, you do not need to draw all four pi molecular orbitals. Draw the orbital picture of two MOs - the HOMO (highest occupied MO) and the LUMO (lowest unoccupied MO). Label each clearly as HOMO and LUMO, label any "nodes," and shade the orbitals to show in-phase or out-of-phase. maips s benovel ed bluow yswrng
