The naphthalene molecule has a structure that corre- sponds to two benzene molecules fused together: H H | H. H H H The 7-electrons in this molecule are delocalized over the entire molecule. The wavelength of maximum absorption in the UV-visible part of the spectrum in benzene is 255 nm. Is the corresponding wavelength shorter or longer than 255 nm for naphthalene?

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

Sunscreen contains compounds that absorb ultraviolet light. When sunscreen is applied to skin, it prevents ultraviolet light from reach- ing the skin. The graph that follows shows the absorbance of light as a function of wavelength for two different compounds (2-EHMC and TDSA) common in sunscreen. Absorbance is a measure of the amount of light absorbed by the compound-the higher the absor- bance, the more light is absorbed.

What is the meaning of the term wavenumber, which is used in IR spectroscopy? OIt is the total number of wavelengths of IR radiation absorbed by the compound. It is the number of waves that pass through a particular point each second. It is another term for the energy of radiation. OIt is how many waves the IR light contains.
