Chapter 13 book Flashcards
What can you tell from Mass spectrometry?
Measure molecular weight and determine molecular formula
Fragments
radicals and cations lower molecular weight than ion
What is the tallest peak called
base peak
What happens to the molecular weight of nitrogen is involved
molecular weight is odd
If the molecule ion is 72 what could the molecular formula be
C5H12, C4H8O, C3H4O2
If the molecule ion is 100 what could the molecular formula be
C8H4, C7H16, C6H12,O, C5H8O2
If a Cl is involved what happens to the molecular ion
3:1 ratio
If a Br is involved what happens to the molecular ion
1:1 ratio
Aldehyde and Ketone fragment pattern
alpha cleavage: break bond between carbonyl carbon and adjacent
Alcohol fragment pattern
alpha cleavage: break bond between alkyl group and C that bears OH or H2O elimination with 2 bond
Amine fragment pattern
alpha cleavage: break bond between alkyl group and c that bears amine forming a resonance structure
Infrared Spectroscopy
technique used infrared light to interact with compounds which causes bonds to bend and vibrate causing certain functional groups to be at certain absorptions
photons
particles of electromagnetic radiation which have quantum
quantum
discrete amount of energy
wavelength
distance from 1 point on wave to some point
