Determine the Energy of the photon required to excite a conjugated linear molecule,
like butadiene only with 14 carbon atoms instead of 4 from its ground state to its first
excited state. Assume that this molecule is linear and has an alternating arrangement
of double and single bonds where the bonds between the far left and right carbon
atoms with their neighbours are double bonds. State your answer in Joules relative to
1 x 10 (take your answer in joules and divide it by 1\times 10^{-19}\)) to three
-19
decimal places (X.XXX).
