Solved: Consider a N2 molecule in its first excited
Chapter 10, Problem 10.113(choose chapter or problem)
Consider a N2 molecule in its first excited electronic state; that is, when an electron in the highest occupied molecular orbital is promoted to the lowest empty molecular orbital. (a) Identify the molecular orbitals involved and sketch a diagram to show the transition. (b) Compare the bond order and bond length of N2* with N2, where the asterisk denotes the excited molecule. (c) Is N2* diamagnetic or paramagnetic? (d) When N2* loses its excess energy and converts to the ground state N2, it emits a photon of wavelength 470 nm, which makes up part of the auroras lights. Calculate the energy difference between these levels.
