what part can the human see?
the UV Vis region
does UV vis tell us about the structure of a molecule?
no
what does Uv vis tell us about?
quantity, absorption maximum.
what does a commercial spectrophotometer over?
185 –900 nm range
with a commercial spectrophotometer where can you get interference?
190, as water and oxygen in the air will cause peaks
what is the origin absorption of Electronic Spectroscopy of Molecules?
Interaction of photons with ions or molecules
what happens when a molecule absorbs a photon ?
when a molecule absorbs a photon form the Uv visible region, the energy is captured by the outer most electrons and leads to a change in electronic energy
Does UV vis cause a change in vibrational energy?
no that happens in Raman spectroscopy
what does the change in electronic energy levels cause?
Results in alteration of vibrational and rotational energy
how many wave numbers do we need for UV vis spectroscopy ?
10,000 wave numbers in energy
when carrying out Uv vis spectroscopy what peaks do we see?
mainly broad peaks
covers multiple peaks occurring ta the same time
absorption of photons takes how long?
10-18 s
in uv vis what stem axis of the graph
wavelength, transmittance/absorbance/reflectance
what stem units of wavelength?
nm
what is transmittance?
measure of intensities of transmitted and incident light
in ramane and infrared the x axis is in?
wavenumber
what’s transmittance equation?
I/i0
what happens when UV vis is does on gases?
spectra shows fine structure, vibrational transitions - big peaks
rotational transitions - within big peaks
For Uv vis whats the sample prep?
- dissolve sample into solution
what can uV vis be done on?
gas liquid and solid
