- Suppose that an ethene molecule is ionized by a photon to give the C2 H+4 ion. Will the bond order of the carbon–carbon bond increase or decrease? Explain.arrow_forwardElectronic 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.arrow_forwardCalculate the relative intensities M+1 and M+2 for CH3COOHarrow_forward
- If the spacings between adjacent vibrational features in a photoelectron spectroscopy experiment decrease, changing by a factor of 1/2, when you deuterate the molecule being ionized, is it more likely that the orbital from which you are ejecting an electron is from a nonbonding orbital, a p orbital localized on a C-C or C-O bond, or a s orbital localized on a C-H bond?

It has one Raman active vibrational mode at 1400 cm−1, two strong IR active modes at 2360 and 540 cm−1, and one weak IR mode at 3735 cm−1. Are these data consistent with the predicted shape of the molecule? Assign the vibrational wavenumbers to the modes from which they arise.arrow_forward
