I have a few questions about UV-Vis. TBR states, "Because σ-bonds are so much stronger than π-bonds, the lowest energy absorbance for alkanes is significantly higher than the lowest energy absorbance for alkenes." Can someone explain this to me? I know that σ-bonds are much stronger than π-bonds but the second part of that sentence confuses me.
I also do not understand why the energy gap between π and π* decreases as the conjugation increases. The notion that λ max is directly...
