The electrons within the T-system of conjugated hydrocarbons may be treated as particles confined within a one-dimensional box. The lowest energy transition in the spectrum of a polyene hydrocarbon corresponds to excitation of an electron from the highest occupied energy level to the lowest unoccupied level. If the hydrocarbon contains 6 electrons and has a spectral transition at a wavelength of 278 nm, estimate the effective length of the TT-system. The estimated length = nm. Hint: you will need to fill the energy diagram to know which energy levels are involved in the transition. me = 9.110 x 1031 kg (Enter in e-notation, e.g. 1.23e-4, tolerance ±5%)
