After the discovery of uranus, astronomers calculated its orbit and predicted its position in the sky using kepler's laws of planetary motion, which had been known since the early 17th century. however, they soon discovered a small discrepancy between the predicted and actual positions of uranus. as a scientist, what should you do when presented with such a conflict between prediction and observation?
select all that apply: a. verify that your observations are correctb. consider whether kepler's laws need to be modified to account for the new observationsc. think about what else might cause the observed discrepancy ord. consider that uranus may not be a planet

The particle in a two-dimensional well is a useful model for the motion of electrons around the indole ring (3), the conjugated cycle found in the side chain of tryptophan. we may regard indole as a rectangle with sides of length 280 pm and 450 pm, with 10 electrons in the conjugated p system. as in case study 9.1, we assume that in the ground state of the molecule each quantized level is occupied by two electrons. (a) calculate the energy of an electron in the highest occupied level. (b) calculate the frequency of radiation that can induce a transition between the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied levels. 9.27 electrons around the porphine ring (4), the conjugated macrocycle that forms the structural basis of the heme group and the chlorophylls. we may treat the group as a circular ring of radius 440 pm, with 20 electrons in the conjugated system moving along the perimeter of the ring. as in exercise 9.26, assume that in the ground state of the molecule quantized each level is occupied by two electrons. (a) calculate the energy and angular momentum of an electron in the highest occupied level. (b) calculate the frequency of radiation that can induce a transition between the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied levels.
