(a) Draw diagrams to show the occupancies of the ng* level in the ground state and first two excited states of O2. Does the formal bond order change upon excitation from the ground to the first excited state (1 Δg?) of O2?


(b) The 1Δg state of O2 lies 94.7 KJ mol-1 above the ground state. Show that the simultaneous excitation of two O2 molecules from their ground to 1 A? states corresponds to an absoiption of light of wavelength 631 nm.
