These absorptions are ascribed to n-n transitions, that is, transitions of an electron from the highest occupied n molecular orbital (HOMO) to the lowest unoccupied n molecular orbital (LUMO). One can decide which orbitals are the HOMO and LUMO by filling electrons into the molecular energy level diagram from the bottom up, two electrons to each molecular orbital. The number of electrons is the number of sp carbon atoms contributing to the n system of a neuhal polyalkene, two for each double bond. In ethylene, there is only one occupied MO and one unoccupied MO. The occupied orbital in ethylene is p below the energy level represented by ot, and the unoccupied orbital is p above it. The separation between the only possibilities for the HOMO and LUMO is 2.00p. 

The atomic absorption spectrum for Na is shown in Figure 10.19 and is typical of that found for most atoms. The most obvious feature of this spectrum is that it consists of a few, discrete absorption lines corresponding to transitions between the ground state (the 3s atomic orbital) and the 3p and 4p atomic orbitals. Absorption from excited states, such as that from the 3p atomic orbital to the 4s or 3d atomic orbital, which are included in the energy level diagram in Figure 10.18, are too weak to detect. Since the...

Consider what happens if, for example, an ensemble of carbon atoms is subjected to X rays of 1486.6 eV energy (the usual X-ray source in commercial XPS instruments). A carbon atom has 6 electrons, two each in the Is, 2s, and 2p orbitals, usually written as C Is 2s 2p. The energy level diagram of Figure la represents this electronic structure. The photoelectron process for removing an electron from the... 

In X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), a beam of soft X-rays with energy hv s. focused onto the surface of a solid that is held under an ultra-high vacuum, resulting in the ejection of photoelectrons from core levels of the atoms in the solid [20]. Fig. 15 shows an energy level diagram for an atom and illustrates the processes involved in X-ray-induced photoelectron emission from a solid.

Long after this energy level diagram for the hydrogen atom had been established, scientists still pondered its significance. Finally, in the late 1920 s, a mathematical scheme was developed that explained the facts. The mathematical scheme is called quantum mechanics. 

At this point we might recast the hydrogen atom energy level diagram to express what we know... 

The energy level diagrams resemble the hydrogen atom level diagram except that the ri levels with the same value of n no longer all have the same energy.

The energy of a state is that which an atom has when an electron is missing from the level corresponding to that state.

Step 2 Use matching valence-shell atomic orbitals to build bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals and draw the resulting molecular orbital energy-level diagram (Figs. 3.31 and 3.32).

In this case, A is the more electronegative of the two elements. 

The molecular orbital energy-level diagrams of heteronuclear diatomic molecules are much harder to predict qualitatitvely and we have to calculate each one explicitly because the atomic orbitals contribute differently to each one. Figure 3.35 shows the calculated scheme typically found for CO and NO. We can use this diagram to state the electron configuration by using the same procedure as for homonuclear diatomic molecules.
