calculate the pi-electron energy levels and the total pi-electron
energy of bicyclobutadiene.
comment on the stability of bicyclobutadiene with respect to
cyclobutadiene.
go on to solve the secular equations to obtain the orbital
coefficients of the 4 molecular orbitals and hence obtain the
pi-charge distributions at each of the atoms.
Determine the energy at which the Boltzmann approximation may be
considered valid. Calculate the energy, in terms of kT and EF, at
which the difference between the Boltzmann approximation and the
Fermi-Dirac function is (a) 2%, (b) 5%, (c) 10%, and (d) 20% of the
Fermi function.
