4. In a butadiene molecule (shown below) the pi electrons are conjugated over three bonds, which...
Electrons in a conjugated molecule can be approximated by the particle-in-a-box model. When an electron in such a system moves from n1 = 5 to n2 = 7 light with a wavelength of 3568 Angstroms is emitted. Using this information calculate the length L of the unknown molecule in nanometers.
The electronic spectrum of the molecule butadiene, CH2=CH-CH=CH2, can be approximated using the one dimensional particle-in-a-box if one assumes that the conjugated double bonds span the entire four-carbon chain. If the electron absorbing a photon have wavelength 2170 Angstroms is going from the level n = 2 to the level n = 3, what is the approximate length of the C.He molecule? (The experimental value is -4.8 Angstrom.) length 2 5 .74*10-10

7. π electron is an electron which resides in the pi bond(s) of a double bond or a triple bond, or in a conjugated p orbital. The 1,3,5-hexatriene molecule is a conjugated molecule with 6 t electrons. Consider the Tt electrons free to move back and forth along the molecule through the delocalized pi system. Using the particle in a box approximation, treat the carbon chain as a linear one-dimensional "box". Allow each energy level in the box to hold...

Calculate the longest wavelength transition for this molecule using the 1 dimensional I have an exam coming up soon and I am having trouble understanding these practice questions. particle in a box model.
Conjugated pi-bonds can be modeled as a particle-in-the-box. In this case, the particle is an electron and the box is the conjugated pi-bond network. Using 440.0 nm as λmax for beta-carotene as the HOMO-LUMO gap, calculate the length of the conjugated pi-bond network in beta-carotene. Note that you will need to look at the carbon number and hybridization type to determine what initial and final n values to use. Compare this to the actual value of L=2.6 x 10-9 m....
Use the quantized energy expression of a “particle in a box” for the following problem. Imagine a “linear” conjugated molecule that has a length of 576 pm. To the nearest ones, what is the wavelength of EM radiation (in nm) that will excite a pi electron from n = 4 to the next higher quantum level (i.e., n = 4 +1)? Some helpful information: En = h2n2/(8mea2), where En is the energy of the particle (electron) at the nth quantum...
The 22 de localized TT-electrons in the 11 conjugated C-C bonds which make up the center ß-carotene molecule behave as if they are in a box 2nm long. Given the usual 2 electrons per energy level that you know from chemistry, the highest energy electron (in the HOMO) is in the n = 11 state. What energy photon is needed to bump it to the n = 12 (LUMO) state?
Calculate the pi-network in 1,8-diphenyl-1,3,5,7-octatetraene, C20H18, using the particle in a box model. To calculate the box length, assume that the molecule is linear and use the values 135 and 154 pm for C=C and C-C bonds. The electrons in sigma bonds are localized, while eight electrons in pi bonds are delocalized in a box between the phenyl groups (i.e., phenyl groups are not included in the pi-network). A) What is the wavelength of light required to induce a transition...
