According to Huckel theory, what is the difference in total energy between the anion (C6H6) and the dication (C,H6)²* of Benzene? In your work, explicitly state which orbitals are occupied in case of the anion and the dictation and what the total energy of each of the two ions is. The total energy difference is defined as AE = Eanion Edication-
