Also, I have an interesting question. If a molecule is colored, it implies that it absorbs electromagnetic waves in a visible range of spectrum and undergoes a transition to pi antibonding orbitals, thus their bonds get ruined? Or given the fact that this transition occurs too rapidly, these molecules do not change their structure? I would be grateful if someone would clarify this issue.
They are conjugated so these molecules show resonances effect and electrons keep changing position from one carbon to other and structure of molecules keep changing due to resonances until their molecules have color (energy) in it.
truly helpful for my spectrofluorimeter lab report thank you sir
I am wondering how a transition from n to pi (antibonding) orbital on an oxygen atom looks like visually because it has already one pi orbital.

You lost me.
