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

It is a term used in chemistry which means that the electron which is delocalized is not associated…

The “signature” infrared absorption that indicates the presence of a C-H stretching motion in a molecule occurs at wavelengths near 3.4 × 10-6m. Use this information to estimate the force constant of the C-H stretch.Take the reduced mass in this motion to be approximately equal to the mass of the hydrogen atom (a good approximation when the H atom is attached to a heavy atom).
