Physical Chemistry Question
« on: November 10, 2011, 07:58:08 AM »
Given that butadiene absorbs light with a wavelength of 115nm, calcuate the C-C bond length in butadiene.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

I do have an idea as to how to go about this.. But I'm not sure about it myself... Anyway, do you know any formula that relates bond energy and bond length?
