Ch.9 - Molecular Geometry and Bonding Theories
Chapter 9, Problem 108
Molecules that are brightly colored have a small energy gap between filled and empty electronic states (the HOMOLUMO gap; see Exercise 9.104). Suppose you have two samples, one is lycopene which is responsible for the red color in tomato, and the other is curcumin which is responsible for the yellow color in turmeric. Which one has the larger HOMO-LUMO gap?
