Comparing the lowest energy transition, $\Delta$, in1,3-butadiene(A) and 1,3,5,7-octatetraene(B), $\Delta$E_A is greater than $\Delta$0E_B.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transition energy is determined by the energy difference between the initial and final states. In this case, both molecules have the same initial and final states, but different intermediate states. The intermediate state in molecule A has a higher energy than the intermediate state in molecule B, leading to a greater overall transition energy in A. Therefore, the statement is true, and the correct answer is A.
