Question

In Hückel approximation, the π-energy for the cyclopropenyl cation is [ α and β are coulomb integral and resonance integral, respectively]

A.

2α + 4β

B.

α+β

C.

3α+ 3β

D.

3α+ 6β

Correct option is A

The Hückel method or Hückel molecular orbital theory, is a simple method for calculating molecular orbitals as linear combinations of atomic orbitals.


There are two electrons,therefore total energy is multiplied by two.
