Answer #1

I2 have one single bond. This is a covalent molecule.

there are no pi bond. so there are no chances the pi - pi* transition.

But in I2, there are sigma - sigma* transition occurs.

the energy gap between  sigma - sigma* is high in compare to pi - pi* gap.

During UV-Vis study the monochromatic light used can not excite the electron from sigma to sogma* due to higher energy gap.

Hence in UV-Vis spectra of I2, there are no peak or band.

Hence  first excited state (A) transitions not be observed in UV-Vis Spectra for I2.

The hydrogen atom, changing from its first excited state to its lowest energy state, emits light with a wavelength of 122 nm. That is in the far ultraviolet. The sodium atom, which like hydrogen has one electron that gets excited outside a core of 10 other electrons, emits light at 589 nm making a similar transition from its first excited state to its lowest state. Which of these statements would be true about the sodium and hydrogen atoms and their...
