Question

Consider a N2 molecule in its first excited electronic state.

(a) Identify the molecular orbitals involved and sketch a diagram to show the transition

(b) Compare the bond order and bond length of N2* with N2, where the asterisk denotes the excited molecule. 

(c) Is N2* diagmagnetic or paramagnetic?

(d) When N2* loses its excess energy and converts to the ground state N2, it emits a photon of wavelength 470 nm. Calculate the energy difference between these levels.
