Interpretation:
The approximate energy difference between the HOMO and LUMO is to be calculated from the given UV-vis spectrum.
Concept introduction:
The UV-vis spectrum of a is a plot of relative absorbance as a function of the wavelength.
The position of the peak in the spectrum, called
The transition of an electron from the HOMO to the LUMO requires the least energy of all possible electron transitions on that molecule. This is because an electron in the HOMO has the highest energy of all electrons in the ground state, and the LUMO is the lowest energy empty orbital available. This energy then corresponds to the longest wavelength band (or peak) in the UV-vis spectrum.

- pls help ASAP Based on the IR stretching frequency values listed, choose the best molecule that matches the information.arrow_forwardplease explain Barrow_forwardFor the following spectra, IF A SPECTRA can be readily matched to a molecule do so and then indicate the absorptions on the spectra. For any spectra and molecules that can’t be easily assigned explain why, and also identify absorptions on the spectra.arrow_forward
