4. As the energy gap between the HOMO and LUMO orbitals of a molecule decreases, the molecules' electronic absorption spectrum (UV-vis spectrum) will have a larger Amax (lamba max) value. If compound X has a Amax = 388 nm, and compound Y has a max = 442 nm, which compound has more extensive conjugation? Place the name of the compound in the box below.
