<div>For 11.25, it asks if the electronic states are g or u. I
am not sure what they mean by that question. I know g and u or
gerade and ungerade are symmetry labels for molecular orbitals
and I know that, in this case, the excited electron is going
from a u orbital to a g orbital but I don't know what the
question is looking for.</div>

Just label the electronic states. For example, the lowest one is 1
sigma g, the second one is 1 sigma u, etc.<br>

<div>For 11.35, I am not sure what it wants us to use from
tables 11.1 and 13.4 to calculate the spectroscopic
dissociation energy of O2 since it lists the spectroscopic
dissociation energy for O2 in table 13.4.</div>

Use the De value from table 11.1 and the vibrational frequency from
13.4.<br>
