UV Visible Spectroscopy

Spectroscopy refers to the absorption or emission of light or other radiations by matter. When a substance or chemical absorbs light or radiation, they reach an excited state followed by de-excitation or emission of the light or radiation forming distinct spectra. UV-visible spectroscopy or ultraviolet-visible refers to the absorption and emission in the ultraviolet and visible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Question: In the process of aromatic stabilization, how does the role of molecular orbital theory in predicting the relative stability of antiaromatic and nonaromatic compounds contribute to understanding the delocalization of π electrons and their impact on a molecule's overall stability?
Explain with the help of resonance structures which of the two nitrogen atoms is more basic in the following molecule.
Pairs of unshared electrons can be pushed. One Lewis structure for the methoxy-methyl cation is . The structure contains a pair of pushable electrons, namely, the unshared electrons on the atom. The structure also contains a positively charged atom that can act as a . A second resonance structure can be generated by pushing the unshared electrons to the receptor. Thus, It is not possible to push electrons toward the other carbon, because it is not a receptor. If you tried to push electrons to this carbon, you would generate a pentavalent carbon, which is not possible.
The two molecules in the pictrue behave very differently in reactions. Though they are both neutral, it is possible to draw resonance structures to illustrate which atoms will have partial charges. In one of the molecules, a carbon of the double bond is partially positive while in the other it is partially negative. 1. Draw one resonance structure for each molecule below with only one positive and one negative charge in the left box. In the box to the right draw out the original structure with its partial charges, which can be determined from the resonance structures.
