Drawing energy diagrams?
« on: December 04, 2009, 05:21:21 PM »
Hello,

How do you draw energy diagrams?
Question 15.29 of McMurry:
"Draw an energy diagram of the cyclopropenyl system (C3H3)."

I have the answer, but can't figure out where it came from.

Thanks

I vaguely remember something about Frost diagrams being a way to "cheat" and simplify the problem. Perhaps that may be of some help  ???
