There is some indication that other hydrogen ring compounds and ions in addition to H3 and D3 species may play a role in interstellar chemistry. According to J.S. Wright and G.A. DiLabio (J. Phys. Chem. 96, 10 793 (1992)), H5−, H6, and H7+ are particularly stable whereas H4 and H5+ are not. Confirm these statements by Hückel calculations.

Based on the relative likelihood of these possibilities and any other potential structures that YOU can draw, determine the bond order for the first N—N bond. If your answer is a fraction, use that fraction as the decimal equivalent (i.e. 1 1/4 = 1.25, etc.)
What can you conclude given that the plot of ln P versus t islinear?
Electronic excitation of a molecule may weaken or strengthen some bonds because bonding and antibonding characteristics differ between the HOMO and the LUMO. For example, a carbon–carbon bond in a linear polyene may have bonding character in the HOMO and antibonding character in the LUMO. Therefore, promotion of an electron from the HOMO to the LUMO weakens this carbon–carbon bond in the excited electronic state, relative to the ground electronic state. Consult Figs. 9E.2 and 9E.4 and discuss in detail any changes in bond order that accompany the π*←π ultraviolet absorptions in butadiene and benzene.
