Chapter 10, Problem 10.49E

Carotenes are molecules with alternating C C and C = C bonds in which the electrons are delocalized across the entire alternating bond system. As such, the electrons can be approximated as being a particle-in-a-box. Lycopene is a carotene found in tomatoes and watermelon. Assuming that the alternating carbon-carbon bond system is 2.64 nm wide:

(a) What is the energy of the n = 11 level?

(b) What is the energy of the n = 12 level?

(c) What is the Δ E between n = 11 and n = 12 ?

(d) If, by the Bohr frequency condition, Δ E = h υ , what frequency and wavelength of light corresponds to the transition from n = 11 to n = 12 ?

Give the ground-state electron configurations of (i) XeF, (ii) PN, and (iii) SO−.
The experimentally determinded Bi-Cl bond distance in bismuth trichloride is 2.48Å . Given the tablulated value of 0.99Å for the atomic radius of Cl, predict the atomic radius of Bi?
although we associate Pz 2. Now we will move on to diatomic molecules. In atoms all p-orbitals are equivalent with m/= 0, and px py with m/= ±1. In diatomic molecules these orbitals are in fact separated, with pz associated with o orbitals along the internuclear axis and px py associated with л orbitals (m/= ±1). In determining electron configurations we do indeed separate them: N₂ (KK¹ 0₂²). and O2 (KKogu ng *2). 4 a. Two excited states of N₂ are associated with Tu transitions. Tg and og → ou* i. Draw the MO energy level scheme (p-orbitals only) for the N₂ ground state and for these two excited states. ii. Obtain the term symbols for the two excited states and order them according to Hund's rules. iii. Write the wave functions for each of the terms obtained in ii) above. iv. Pick one wave function from each excited state and show it obeys the Pauli Principle.
