Q.1. Which of the following comparison is correct for solvent shift on the n –>π* transition of acetone?
(a) H20 = CH30H = C2H50H = CHC13 = C6H14
(b) H20 > CH30H > C2H50H > CHC13 > C6H14
(c) H20 < CH30H < C2H50H < CHC13 < C6H14
(d) H20 > CH30H < C2H50H < CHC13 < C6H
14

Correct Answer is Option (c)
H-bonding with ground state in n–> π* results in increase in energy gap & decrease in wavelength.
And as polar solvents show strong H-bonding. So, the correct option is H20 < CH30H < C2H50H < CHC13 < C6H14.

Q.2. What is the correct order of λmax for n –> π* transition for the R-CN, R-NO2, and R-N=N-R?
(a) R-CN < R-NO2 < R-N=N-R
(b) R-CN = R-NO2 = R-N=N-R
(c) R-CN > R-NO2 > R-N=N-R
(d) R-CN > R-NO2 < R-N=N-R

Correct Answer is Option (c)
λmax for n –> π*

Q.3. What is the wavelength range for UV spectrum of light?
(a) 400 nm – 700 nm
(b) 700 nm to 1 mm
(c) 0.01 nm to 10 nm
(d) 10 nm to 400 nm

Correct Answer is Option (d)
Ultraviolet (UV) is an electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength from 10 nm to 400 nm, shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays (the visible region fall between 380-750 nm and X- rays region fall between 0.01 to 10nm).


Q.4. What is the correct order of λmax for n –> σ* transition?
(a) R-OH > R-NH2 > R-SH
(b) R-OH < R-NH< R-SH
(c) R-OH > R-SH > R-NH2
(d) R-OH < R-SH < R-NH
2

Correct Answer is Option (b)
According to molecular orbital energy diagram for R-OH, R-NH2, R-SH (shown below), energy level will decrease respectively so λmax will increase.
