Is acetic acid aromatic?

No. There are two molecular requirements that must be met to indicate aromaticity. In order to be aromatic a molecule must: 1) have a ring of pi electrons above and below the molecule. This means: a. The molecule must be cyclic. b. All atoms in the ring must be sp2 hybridized c. The molecule must be planar. 2) have an odd number of pairs of pi electrons. Since acetic acid is not cyclic, it cannot meet the first requirement and therefore cannot be aromatic. There are, however, delocalized electrons that increase the stability of the compound.


What is the requirement for a molecule to be UV active?

UV-vis active molecules must have easily deformed electron clouds. This requirement is met for molecules with lots of pi-bonds that are directly connected together, or conjugated.

What conditions must be met for a molecule to absorb infrared radiation?

For a molecule to absorb infrared radiation, it must have a change in its dipole moment when it vibrates. This means that the molecule must have different charges distributed unevenly within it, causing it to interact with the infrared radiation and absorb its energy.


In order to see a rainbow what three conditions must be met?

Rainbows can be caused by many forms of airborne water. These include not only rain, but also mist, spray, and airborne dew. That's the first requirement ... the weather conditions: Liquid water droplets in the air. But that doesn't guarantee a rainbow. Here's what else you need: -- The sun, shining in a clear sky, standing less than 42 degrees above the horizon, behind you. If more than 42 degrees high, none of a rainbow can be above the horizon. -- From where your head is, the clear sun and the watery air must be in exactly opposite directions.
