a) Draw energy diagrams for each ion's MOs. Fill the MOs with the molecules' electrons in the groundstate. Indicate the relative energy of each MO with a horizontal line and label (e.g., 1). Draw a dashed line to represent the line of non-bonding. b) Based on their molecular orbitals and using arguments of aromaticity, which ion do you expect to be more stable? Be sure to clearly identify each molecules aromaticity and whether or not they meet Hckel's rule by counting the number of electrons each molecule has
