Q

What are the electron withdrawing effects in carbonyl compounds?

A

Electron withdrawing group tends to draw electrons into the c=o bond which strengthens the bond and increases the frequency

Q

What is the resonance effect in carbonyl compounds?

A

unpaired electron on nitrogen conjugates with C=O

If there is more single bond character, lowers frequency

Q

Why does the hypo chromic effect occur?

A

Introduction of methyl group distorts the geometry of the molecules which causes the effect

17
Q

Why does the bathochromic shift occur?

A

Due to the presence of an auxochrome or by the change of polarity of solvent

18
Q

Why does the hypsochromic shift occur?

A

Due to the removal of conjugation or by the change of the polarity of the solvent

19
Q

What is an auxochrome?

A

a group which does not itself act as a chromophores but whose presence brings about a change in the absorption
They are a colour enhancing group

20
Q

What is a chromophore?

A

Any isolated covalently bonded group that shows a characteristic absorption in the ultraviolet or visible region
