Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

What is the energy, E (in J), of the HOMO of {Molecule}* if it is assumed that the "particle-in-a-box model" can be applied and the length of the box, l, is {Length} $\unicode{x212B}$ ?

Gap 0. $\times$ 10^{Gap 1.}

*If you are asked a question about beta-carotene, assume that there are 22 electrons in its conjugated system.

Advice

a) Each carbon atom contributes one electron to the conjugated system. Electrons are paired within molecular orbitals. Therefore, after adding the {ne} electrons of {Molecule} to molecular orbitals (filling the lowest energy orbitals first), we discover that the HOMO is {n}.

We need to remember that 1 $\unicode{x212B}$ in length is equal to 1 $\times$ 10^-10 m.

Next, we can note that;

$E(n)=\frac{n^2h^2}{8m_e^2L^2}=\frac{\var{n}^2\times (\var{h_mantissa}\times~10^{\var{h_log}}{\rm~J~s})^2}{8~\times\var{me_mantissa}~\times~10^{\var{me_log}}~{\rm kg}~\times~(\var{Length}~\times~10^{-10})^2~{\rm m^2}}$

It's a good idea to rearrange this to collect powers of ten;

$\frac{\var{n}^2~\times~(\var{h_mantissa}\times~10^{\var{h_log}}{\rm~J~s})^2}{8~\times~\var{me_mantissa}\times~10^{\var{me_log}}~{\rm kg}~\times~(\var{Length}\times ~10^{-10})^2~{\rm m^2}}$

$=\frac{\var{n}^2\times\var{h_mantissa}^2}{8\times\var{me_mantissa}\times\var{Length}^2}\times\frac{(10^{\var{h_log}})^2}{10^{\var{me_log}}\times(10^{-10})^2}~{\rm~~~ J}$

$=\var{E_homo_mantissa}\times10^\var{E_homo_log}~{\rm~J}$

b) Electrons are paired within molecular orbitals. After adding the {ne} electrons of {Molecule} to molecular orbitals (filling the lowest energy orbitals first), we discover that the LUMO is {LUMO}.

We need to remember that 1 $\unicode{x212B}$ in length is equal to 1 $\times$ 10^-10 m.

Next, we can note that;

$E(n)=\frac{(n+1)^2h^2}{8m_e^2L^2}=\frac{\var{LUMO}^2~\times~(\var{h_mantissa}~\times~10^{\var{h_log}}{\rm~J~s})^2}{8~\times~\var{me_mantissa}~\times~ 10^{\var{me_log}}~{\rm kg}~\times~(\var{Length}~\times~10^{-10})^2~{\rm m^2}}$

It's a good idea to rearrange this to collect powers of ten;

$\frac{\var{LUMO}^2~\times~(\var{h_mantissa}~\times~10^{\var{h_log}}{\rm~J~s})^2}{8~\times~\var{me_mantissa}~\times~10^{\var{me_log}}~{\rm kg}~\times~ (\var{Length}~\times~10^{-10})^2~{\rm m}}$

$=\frac{\var{LUMO}^2\times\var{h_mantissa}^2}{8~\times~\var{me_mantissa}~\times~\var{Length}^2}~\times~\frac{(10^{\var{h_log}})^2}{10^{\var{me_log}}~\times~(10^{-10})^2}~{\rm~~~ J}$

$=\var{E_lumo_mantissa}\times10^\var{E_lumo_log}~{\rm~J}$

c) Perhaps the most direct way to the answer to this question is simply to subtract the answer to (a) from that of (b);

$\var{E_lumo_mantissa}\times10^\var{E_lumo_log}~{\rm~J}-\var{E_homo_mantissa}\times10^\var{E_homo_log}~{\rm~J}=\var{Delta_E_mantissa}~\times~10^{\var{Delta_E_log}}~{\rm~J}$

but it is worth knowing that there is a more general route to a solution that avoids the need to calculate the energies of the HOMO and LUMO;

$E(n+1)-E(n)=\frac{(n+1)^2h^2}{8m_e^2L^2}-\frac{n^2h^2}{8m_e^2L^2}$

$=(\frac{(n^2+2n+1)h^2}{8m_eL^2})-(\frac{n^2h^2}{8m_eL^2})$

$=\frac{(2n+1)h^2}{8m_eL^2}$ so

$\frac{(2~\times~\var{n}+1)~\times~\var{h_mantissa}^2}{8~\times~\var{me_mantissa}~\times~\var{Length}^2}~\times~\frac{(10^{\var{h_log}})^2}{10^{\var{me_log}}~\times~(10^{-10})^2}~{\rm~~~ J}$

$=\var{Delta_E_mantissa}~\times~10^{\var{Delta_E_log}}~{\rm~J}$

d) We need to take the energy associated with the transition and divide it by the Planck constant;

$E=h\nu$

$\nu=\frac{E}{h}=\frac{\var{Delta_E_mantissa}~\times~10^{\var{Delta_E_log}}~{\rm J}}{\var{h_mantissa}~\times~10^{\var{h_log}}{\rm~J~s}}$

$={\var{Frequency_mantissa}\times10^{\var{Frequency_log}}~{\rm~Hz}}$

e) To obtain the wavelength from the frequency, we need to remember that;

$c=\lambda\nu$

$\frac{c}{\nu}=\lambda=\frac{3.0~\times~10^8~{\rm m~s^{-1}}}{\var{Frequency_mantissa}~\times~10^{\var{Frequency_log}}{\rm~s^{-1}}}=\var{Wavelength_m_mantissa}~\times~10^\var{Wavelength_m_log}{\rm~m}$

and noting that 1 $\times~10^9$ nm = 1 m, we can note that;

$\var{Wavelength_m_mantissa}~\times~10^\var{Wavelength_m_log}{\rm~m}=\var{Wavelength}{\rm~nm}$
