- Interconverting wavelength, frequency and photon energy.arrow_forwardThe sun is a giant nuclear reactor, which emits light (electromagnetic radiation) at a range of frequencies. We human can only see visible light (400 – 700 nm), because its absorption results in a conformational change in the retinal molecule, which triggers a neural signal. a. What is the frequency of a 500 nm visible photon? b. How much energy in J does a 500 nm visible photon carry? A typical chemical bond has an energy of 5x10-19 J. Would a visible photon at 500 nm be С. sufficient to break a chemical bond? d. How about a UV (200 nm) photon? Indeed, UV light can damage DNA, the genetic material in our body, leading to mutations and possibly cancer.arrow_forwardRank the following diatomic species of oxygen in order of bond length and bond strength.

- Here's a wild molecule: disulfur dinitride (S2N2). It can be isolated as a crystalline solid, but it is unstable (explosive). Therefore, it must to be handled carefully in an inert atmosphere free of oxygen. X-ray diffraction measurements of the crystalline solid indicate the atoms are arranged in a square with the sulfur atoms on opposite corners and the nitrogen atoms on the remaining opposite corners. Consider the bonding in this unusual molecule. a. Determine the best Lewis structure representation for S2N2. Include the formal charges on each atom in the structure. b. Determine the valence bonding theory predictions for hybridization at each atom in S2N2. The bond angles in S2N2 have been measured by X-ray diffraction and are all approximately 90°. Does valence bond theory do a good job of predicting this observation? Consider the geometry and bonding of S2N2 computed using molecular orbital theory. The results are shown below.
