- When β-carotene is oxidized in vivo, it breaks in half and forms two molecules of retinal (vitamin A), which is a precursor to the pigment in the retina responsible for vision. The conjugated system of retinal consists of 11 C atoms and 1 O atom. In the ground state of retinal, each level up to n = 6 is occupied by two electrons. Assuming an average internuclear distance of 140 pm, calculate (a) the separation in energy between the ground and first exciteted state in which one electron occupies the state with n = 7, and (b) the frequency of radiation required to produce a transition between these two states. From your results, correct the following sentence (from the options in brackets). The absorption spectrum of a linear polyene shifts to (higher/lower) frequency as the number of conjugated atoms (increases/decreases).arrow_forward1. Give the ground-state electron configuration for V2+ and write its Russell-Saunders term symbol. Also, what is the degeneracy?arrow_forward6. The particle on a ring is a useful model for the motion of electrons around the coronene ring. See a 2-D representation of the coronene molecule below; the dashed line around the periphery of the molecule indicates the electron path. We may treat the structure as a circular ring of radius 420 pm, with 14 electrons in the conjugated system moving along the perimeter of the ring. Assuming that, in the ground state of the molecule, each state is occupied by two electrons, (a) calculate the energy and angular momentum of an electron in the highest occupied level, and (b) calculate the frequency of radiation that can induce a transition between the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied levels.arrow_forward
