MO diagrams for cyclic HN molecules are shown in Figure 6.1. The AO phases are shown for the lowest- and highest-energy MOs but not for the intermediate MOs.

(a) Sketch out the intermediate MOs indicating the phase of each AO for a cyclic H6 molecule. Determine the number of nodal planes for each of the six MOs.

(b) Repeat part (a) For a cyclic H10 molecule.
