Electronic transitions (i. e., absorption of uv or visible light) of the conjugated molecule butadiene can be approximated using the particle-on-a-line model, assuming one of the pi electrons can move along the whole four-carbon chain. a molecule of butadiene is found to absorb light of 215 nm corresponding to the electron being excited from the n=2 to n=3 levels. use this to determine the length, in angstroms, of the four-carbon chain to which the electron is confined.

Laboratory experiments, observational field studies, and model-building are all examples of different forms of scientific investigations.  in what way do laboratory experiments primarily differ from other forms of scientific investigations?   a.  a laboratory experiment is the only accepted form of investigation within the scientific community.  b.  studies about how things behave in nature or studies involving very large objects are best answered through laboratory experiments.  c.  laboratory experiments involve the identification and control of variables.  d.  data can only be generated through laboratory experiments, not other forms of investigation.

How to tell if a molecule is polar or nonpolar with electronegativity

The two stars in a certain binary star system move in circular orbits. the first star, alpha, has an orbital speed of 36 km/s. the second star, beta, has an orbital speed of 12 km/s. the orbital period is 137 d. a) what is the mass of the star alpha? b) what is the mass of the star beta?
