The color of dyes results from the preferential absorption of certain wavelengths of light. Certain dye molecules consist of symmetric pairs of rings joined at the center by a chain of carbon atoms, as shown in (Figure 1). Electrons of the bonds along the chain of carbon atoms are shared among the atoms in the chain, but are repelled by the nitrogen- containing rings at the end of the chain. These electrons are thus free to move along the chain but not beyond its ends. They look very much like a particle in a one-dimensional box. For the molecule shown, the effective length of the "box" is 0.85 nm. Part A Assuming that the electrons start in the lowest energy state, what is the longest wavelength this molecule will absorb?

Why does the number of valence electrons matter? The number of electrons in the valence shell determines how an element will bond. If two elements share electrons to fill up their valance shells, they are called covalent bonds. If one element “steals” an electron from another element, those elements no longer have equal numbers of protons and electrons and this they are no longer equal, the element with have a charge. We call elements with charge ions. They are now attracted to each other because they have opposite charges; this is called an ionic bond. We can give an educated guess as to whether an element is likely to bond covalently (share) or ionically (steal) based on where they are on the table. Let’s think about what the columns tell us about the number of valence electrons. If you are an element that is in Group II, you have 2 valence electrons. You would need 6 to complete your shell. How likely is it that another element will share 6 electrons? I think it’s more likely that…

Answer the following questions about the Lewis structure for the organic molecule CH3CH2CH2CN (see examples in Chapter 10) There are valence electrons. The molecule has single bonds, double bonds, and triple bonds. The three central C atoms on the left have REDS and the shape at each of these is The central C on the right has REDS and the shape is The AENC-N = 0.49 which is only slightly polar and we will consider it to be nonpolar. %3D Since there is only slightly polar covalent bond, the molecule is mostly а.
