2 1 Introduction the most salient points are just that a molecule can exist in a variety of states depending on how its electrons are distributed among a set of molecular orbitals, and that each of these quantum states is associated with a definite energy. For a molecule with 2n electrons, the electronic state with the lowest total energy usually is obtained when there are two electrons with antiparallel spins in each of the n lowest orbitals and all the higher orbitals are empty. This is the ground state. In the absence of external perturbations, a molecule placed in the ground state will remain there indefinitely.Chapter 3 will discuss the nature of light, beginning with a classical description of an oscillating electromagnetic field. Exposing a molecule to such a field causes the potential energies of the electrons to fiuctuate with time so that the original molecular orbitals no longer limit the possibilities. The result of this can be that an electron moves from one of the occupied molecular orbitals to an unoccupied orbital with higher energy. Two main requirements must be met for such a transition to occur. First, the electromagnetic field must oscillate at the right frequency. The required frequency (ν) is
