Artist: Marcia Griffiths
You can see it
It's electric!
Boogie woogie, woogie!
The Molec. Orbital Theory
It's electric!
Boogie woogie, woogie!
Ooh, it's easy
It's electric!
Boogie woogie, woogie!
Conjugated dienes are what we use in this scheme
The Psi overlap of sp2 orbitals,
Count the p orbitals
They're electric
Boogie woogie, woogie!
Count the p orbitals
They're electric
Boogie woogie, woogie!
The orbitals' numbers are the same,
This will help you in this game
Now don't forget the nodes
Their number is one less than it's
Now draw the nodes, nodes, nodes
Symmetric it must be
It's easy as pi.
Put the (+/-) signs
At each node the sign has to switch
The phase of wave function, function, function
This begins the electron shift
Some say it's a mystic
It's electric
Boogie woogie, woogie
With UV light you hit it
It's electric
Boogie woogie, woogie
Excited state you made it
It's electric
Boogie woogie, woogie
The electron was in the HOMO
Now it is in the LUMO
An excited state that won't last too long
You can't see it
It's electric!
Boogie woogie, woogie!
The Molec. Orbital Theory
It's electric!
Boogie woogie, woogie!
Ooh, it's easy
It's electric!
Boogie woogie, woogie!
