(b)
Interpretation:
In reference to the answer of part (a) an explanation as to why the UV spectra of compounds B and C are virtually identical is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Spectroscopy method is used to identify the structure of the molecule. It is based on the interactions between matter and electromagnetic radiations. The absorption is a phenomenon in which the matter goes into the bulk phase. The absorption of light in the UV region happens due to the transition of electrons from one level to another. The
