Why triplet state is found to be more stable than excited state?

Why triplet excited state is found to be more stable than singlet excited state?


In the H NMR spectrum why does 1 2-dichloroethane show up as a singlet and not a triplet?

The molecule is symmetric so all protons are equivilent. Equivilent protons cannot couple with each other, so the spectrum is a singlet.

What are the chemical tests to distinguish between 2 pentanone and 3 pentanone?

Do an iodoform test. Use an aqueous solution of iodine and potassium iodide added to basic solutions of 2-pentanone and 3-pentanone.The iodoform reaction is a classical test for methyl ketones. A light-yellow precipitate of iodoform forms immediately with the methyl ketone of 2-pentanone.To confirm:1H NMR3-pentanone will show only 2 signals: a triplet at ~1.33 and a quartet at ~2.352-pentanone will show 4 signals: a triplet at ~0.90, a sextet at ~1.55, a singlet at ~2.05 and a triplet at ~2.40

What is a singlet in quantum physics?

In theoretical physics, a singlet usually refers to a one-dimensional representation (e.g. a particle with vanishing spin). It may also refer to two or more particles prepared in a correlated state, such that the total angular momentum of the state is zero.Singlets frequently occur in atomic physics as one of the two ways in which the spin of two electrons can be combined; the other being a triplet. A single electron has spin 1/2, and transforms as a doublet, that is, as the fundamental representation of the rotation group SU(2). The product of two doublet representations can be decomposed into the sum of the adjoint representation (the triplet) and the trivial representation, the singlet. More prosaically, a pair of electron spins can be combined to form a state of total spin 1 and a state of spin 0.The singlet state formed from a pair of electrons has many peculiar properties, and plays a fundamental role in the EPR paradox and quantum entanglement. In Dirac notation this EPR state is usually represented as:


Why triplet state has less energy than singlet state?

Consider the two electrons in a chemical bond. They have spin vectors S1 and S2. Each of the components of the spin vector is quantized and can take on values ±h/2π. The allowed total spin states are generated by adding the spins S = S1+ S2. If the two vectors are completely anti-parallel, then the total spin i.e. S = S1 - S2 = 0. In this case, the only allowed value of the magnetic quantum number ms is 0. However, if the components of S1 and S2 are the same, the total spin will be 1, which leaves three possible values for ms, namely -1,0,1. For this reason, spin states in which the electrons have a total spin of magnitude 1 are called the triplet states, while the one spin state corresponding to a total spin of 0 is called the singlet state.A triplet may result whenever a molecule possesses two electrons which are both orbitally unpaired and spin unpaired. Orbital unpairing of electrons results when a molecule absorbs a photon of visible or ultraviolet light. Direct formation of a triplet is a very improbable process since both the orbit and spin of the electron would have to change simultaneously.The energy needed to promote the 1s to the 2s orbital is larger than the energy needed to promote the symmetric to the antisymmetric spatial wave function composed of 1s orbitals alone. This is why; in general, excited states involving triplet spin states are lower in energy than excited states involving singlet states.Due to the spin correlation effect the electrons have an electronic and magnetic part. If the spins are in the same direction, triplet state, they are a magnetic repulsion and the electrons are farther. This gives a less electronic repulsion, thus a lower energy state. It is of lower energy than the singlet state, because electrons with their spins in the same direction are good at keeping out of each others way.To put it in another way, suppose an electron of a pair is excited. It can follow 2 different paths one leading to singlet state and another to triplet state. In the first path all the energy is used for rising the energy of the electron while in the second path, part of the energy is used to unpair the spin which requires energy. So the triplet state is at a lesser energy level.
