Show how the carbon p orbitals overlap to form the π2 molecular orbital of the allyl cation.
Allyl Cation
A positively charged ion (cation) with the formula C3H5+, characterized by a carbon atom connected to two other carbons via double bonds in a linear arrangement.
Carbon p Orbitals
Atomic orbitals composed of p electrons in carbon atoms, crucial for the formation of covalent chemical bonds through overlap.
