The UV–vis absorbance spectra of two organic compounds, A (dotted line) and B (solid line), are shown below. Use these spectra to answer the two questions that follow. Assume that the measurements were done using the same cuvette and same concentrations of A and B.
For the two compounds shown, which of the following statements are true?
Choose one or more:
(a) The maximum absorption for compound B occurs at a higher frequency than compound A.
(b) Compound B has a lower molar absorptivity than compound A.
(c) Compound A has a lower molar absorptivity than compound B.
(d) The maximum absorption for compound A occurs at a higher frequency than compound B.
(e) Compound A absorbs light at a higher energy than compound B.
(f) Compound B absorbs light at a higher energy than compound A.
