CH 202 Breakdown UV/Vis: Molecules containing π-electrons or non-bonding electrons (n-electrons) can absorb the energy in the form of ultraviolet or visible light to excite these electrons to higher anti-bonding molecular orbitals. The more easily excited the electrons (i.e. lower energy gap between the HOMO and the LUMO)‚ the longer the wavelength of light it can absorb. Conjugation raises the energy of the bonding orbitals and lowers the energy of the antibonding molecular orbital. This
