organic 2 Flashcards
what does bond vibration depend on
bond strength
bond length
mass of each atom involved in the bond
what is the frequency at which a bond vibrates called
the absorption of that bond
what is the area from 500 to 1500 known as
finger print region
what are the most common bonds between 1500 and 1900
C=O
C=C
what are the most common bonds between 2500 and 4000
C-H
O-H
N-H
what is a molecular ion
positive ion formed when a molecule loses an electron
what is fragmentation
the process that causes a positive ion to split into pieces one of
what is the M+ mass equal to
the mass (Mr) of the compound
what is the result of a compound being in a mass spec
some molecules lose an electron and are ionised forming a molecular ion
how does fragmentation occur
energy from the ionisation process can be transferred to the molecular ion, making it vibrate and for the bond to break
what does fragmentation result in
splits into positive ion and radical
