The more easily excited the electrons (i.e. lower energy gap between the HOMO and the LUMO)‚ the longer the wavelength of light it can absorb. Conjugation raises the energy of the bonding orbitals and lowers the energy of the antibonding molecular orbital. This

We have here another evidence that Nyasha changes very quickly‚ and this also adds to this moving
