Electronic excitation of a molecule may weaken or strengthen some bonds because bonding and antibonding characteristics differ

Question:

Electronic excitation of a molecule may weaken or strengthen some because bonding and antibonding characteristics differ between the HOMO and the LUMO. For example, a carbon-carbon bond in a linear polyene may have bonding character in the HOMO and antibonding character in the LUMO.
Therefore, promotion of an electron from the HOMO to the LUMO weakens this carbon-carbon bond in the excited electronic state, relative to the ground electronic state. Display the HOMO and LUMO of each molecule in Problem 11.15 and discuss in detail any changes in bond order that accompany the π*← π ultraviolet absorptions in these molecules. Bonds
When companies need to raise money, issuing bonds is one way to do it. A bond functions as a loan between an investor and a corporation. The investor agrees to give the corporation a specific amount of money for a specific period of time in exchange...
