Answer:
the HOMO-LUMO energy difference in ethylene is greater than that of cis,trans−1,3−cyclooctadiene
Explanation:
The λmax is the wavelength of maximum absorption. We could use it to calculate the HOMO-LUMO energy difference as follows:
For ethylene
E= hc/λ= 6.63×10^-34×3×10^8/170×10^-9= 1.17×10^-18J
For cis,trans−1,3−cyclooctadiene
E= hc/λ=6.63×10^-34×3×10^8/230×10^-9=8.6×10^-19J
Therefore, the HOMO-LUMO energy difference in ethylene is greater than that of cis,trans−1,3−cyclooctadiene
The correct answer is:
TRIGONAL PYRAMIDAL
