Concept introduction:
Electronic spectra are formed by the excitation and relaxation process of electrons. The excitation process is due to the transition of an electron from a lower energy level to a higher energy level. The relaxation process is due to the transition of an electron from a higher energy level to lower energy level.

The 7-electrons in this molecule are delocalized over the
entire molecule. The wavelength of maximum absorption in
the UV-visible part of the spectrum in benzene is 255 nm.
Is the corresponding wavelength shorter or longer than
255 nm for naphthalene?
The NMR spectrum of a compound can reveal whether the atoms within the molecule are
equivalent or different. For example, the hydrogen atoms in CH2=CH2 are equivalent:
they all exist in an identical environment. However, in CH2=CHCI, the two hydrogen
atoms attached to the same carbon atom are equivalent, but different from the hydrogen
atom on the other carbon atom. Predict how many different types of hydrogen atoms can
be identified in the 1H NMR spectrum of each of the following molecules:
(а)
C2H2
(b)
cis-C2H2C12
(c)
trans-C2H2Cl2
(d)
CH3OH
In the molecule C2H5C1, the hydrogen atoms would all be different if the
(e)
molecule existed in only one conformation. However, only two types of hydrogen atoms
are detected. Propose an explanation.

- 13C NMR spectroscopy provides valuable information about the environments of a molecule's carbon atoms. Since carbon atoms are often connected to hydrogen atoms, which could split the carbon signal through spin-spin coupling, the coupling between C and H is often "turned off" through the use of broadband decoupling, causing each C signal to appear as a singlet. Draw an isomer of C5H11Cl that would be expected to have four resonances in its 13C NMR spectra.arrow_forwardA student has acquired an IR spectra of an unknown six-carbon molecule and has determined that it is either 2-hexyne, 1- hexyne, or 1-hexene.
