The energy demands for the p * orbitals are greater than those for the otherorbi

Question

The energy demands for the p* orbitals are greater than those for the otherorbitals. The bottom-row arrangement shows the least amountof anti-bonding interactions. There are no in-phase orbital interactions shownin this drawing. There is a direct relationship between the energylevel and the number of anti-bonding interactions. The four p orbitals on carbon atoms can arrange themselves in four different ways, as shown in the drawing. Which statement about the four possible bonding arrangements for the p orbitals is not correct?

Explanation / Answer

There is a direct relationship between the energylevel and the number of anti-bonding interactions.
