The naphthalene molecule has a structure that corre- sponds to two benzene molecules fused together: The ™ electrons in this molecule are delocalized over the entire molecule. The wavelength of maximum absorption in benzene is 255 nm. Will the corresponding wavelength in naphthalene be shorter or longer than 255 nm?
