Question

The drawing shows four possible p orbital arrangements for the butadiene molecule. Which of the following statements about these orbitals is not correct?

The four arrangements differ by the number of anti-bonding interfaces in each arrangement.
Each arrangement can yield a ? or ??* orbital site.
The arrangement with the highest energy level involves three anti-bonding interactions.
Each additional anti-bonding interface adds a higher energy demand to the overall bonding orbital arrangement. The drawing shows four possible p orbital arrangements for the butadiene molecule.
