Question
Chapter 1.3, Problem 1.3E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The electron-dot structures for F2, CF4, CH2Cl2, PH3, BrI, HO-, H2N- and H3C- should be drawn.
Concept introduction: Lewis dot structure is the representation which shows the bonding between atoms present in a molecule. It shows lone pairs and bond pairs that exist on each bonded atom.
Lewis dot structure is also known as Lewis dot formula or electron dot structure. The bond formation between the atoms takes place due to the sharing of valence electrons of bonded atoms while the remaining electrons present in outer shell represented as lone pair of electrons. To draw the Lewis structure, calculate the total number of valence electrons in each atom and draw the structure in such a way that each atom gets its octet configuration.

Certain dye molecules consist of symmetric pairs of rings joined at the center by a chain of carbon atoms, as shown in (Figure 1). Electrons of the bonds along the chain of carbon atoms are shared among the atoms in the chain, but are repelled by the nitrogen- containing rings at the end of the chain. These electrons are thus free to move along the chain but not beyond its ends. They look very much like a particle in a one-dimensional box. For the molecule shown, the effective length of the "box" is 0.85 nm. Part A Assuming that the electrons start in the lowest energy state, what is the longest wavelength this molecule will absorb?
