Using a simple particle-in-a-box model for the multiple bonding in 1,2-butadiene (see Example 4.7) and the n=2 wave function for the weakest bound electron, calculate the probability of finding the electron in an 0.1 interval centered midway between the two inner carbon atoms (that is, the center is at x=2.11 , so this interval is from x1=2.06 to x2=2.16 ). Then calculate the probability of finding the electron in an 0.1 interval centered midway between an end carbon atom and the carbon atom that is double-bonded to it in the Lewis dot structure. (You may calculate the appropriate integrals or estimate the relevant areas under the curve graphically.) Then recalculate the probabilities by approximating the integral as |( x 0)|2x , where x0 is evaluated in the middle of the range from x1 to x2 . Finally, explain why you can’t approximate the integral needed for Problem 37(a) in this way.
Estimate the probability of finding an electron which is excited into the 2s orbital of the H atom, looking in a cubical box of volume 0.751036m3 centered at the nucleus. Then estimate the probability of finding the electron if you move the volume searched to a distance of 105.8 pm from the nucleus in the positive z direction. (Note that since these volumes are small, it does not matter whether the volume searched is cubical or spherical.)

β-Carotene (1) is a linear polyene in which 10 sing le and 11 double bonds alternate along a chain of 22 carbon atoms. If the length of each CC bond is taken to be about 140 pm , then the length L of the molecular box in β-carotene is L = 2.94 nm. Estimate the wavelength of the light absorbed bythis molecule when it undergoes a t rans it ion from its ground state to the next higher excited state.
