Wow! Thank you very much for your answer, things are indeed much clearer to me now. Cheers! :)

Thank you both for your replies! :) I don't have much knowledge about orbitals (although I should maybe have) and I wasn't planning to go into depth with them as much (this course is about Drugs analytics so we examine lots of other techniques as well). However, what I did get is that...

Thank you forestgumper! So the point is that chromophores simply absorb UV-Vis light with wavelength 180-800 nm, I don't need to specify why is that so. And I think I read that the transition to excited state is just EASIER with non-bonding electrons, but it's possible for others to get excited...

Hello everyone, I'm just learning about UV-Vis spectroscopy, I have some questions and I would be really thankful for help. It's stated that apsorption happens when electrons go from ground to excited state. And that transition to excited state is easier for non-bonding electrons which I...
