Solution

The correct answer is 3, 3.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

  1. The molecule 1,3,5-Hexatriene is a linear molecule with alternating single and double bonds. It has 6 pi electrons from the three double bonds.

  2. According to Molecular Orbital Theory, these pi electrons will occupy molecular orbitals.

  3. Each pi bond consists of one bonding molecular orbital (MO) and one anti-bonding molecular orbital.

  4. Therefore, for three pi bonds, there will be 3 pi bonding MOs and 3 pi anti-bonding MOs.
