Abstract
Although the purpose of the article “The Visible Spectrum of Liquid Oxygen in the General Chemistry Laboratory” is an analysis of the two-molecules–one-photon absorption spectrum of oxygen, it nevertheless assigns arrangements of the electrons in an energy diagram to the two singlet states of molecular oxygen that do not seem to be correct.
