5. Look at this figure from Blankenship's book, Molecular Mechanisms of Photosynthesis. You can see the structure for bacteriochlorophyll a, along with its absorption spectrum. a. What is the molecular shape around the labeled carbon atom? b. What is the hybridization around that same carbon? Based on this structure, would you expect this molecule to absorb light in the visible spectrum? Why or why not? C.

Violet 2. A sample of hydrogen is heated up to produce the absorption spectrum which has four dark bands as shown below. We are going to explore the energy and wavelength associated with the dark band indicated by the arrow. For the dark band indicated by the arrow above, the electron transition that corresponds to this band results in an electron transition between n=2 and n=3. Draw an energy diagram to help you construct a step-by-step description for the processes involved to create this band in the absorption spectrum. Red
