Q

Why does electronic spectrum in UV-VIS region appear broad

A

since the electronic energy level has a number of vibrational energy levels in it and each of the vibrational energy level has a number of rotational energy levels in it, along with electronic transition vibrational and rotational transitions also occur simultaneously

25
What are HOMO and LUMO
HOMO: the one with lower energy out of occupied orbitals LUMO: the lowest among unoccupied molecular orbitals
26
why should there be less energy gap between the bonding and anti bonding orbitals
the max absorption is moving to longer wavelengths as the amount of delocalisation increases. so, there should be less energy gap coz amount of delocalization increases
27
absorbance
measure of amount of light absorbed
28
chromophore
isolated covalently bonded group that shows a characteristic absorption in the UV or visible region irrespective of the fact whether colour is produced or not
29
auxochrome
atom or group of atoms which does not give raise to an absorption band on its own, but it is a colour enhancing group
30
bathochromic shift ( red shift)
a shift of lambda max to longer wavelengths due to the presence of auxochrome or by the change of solvent
31
hyposochromic shift ( blue shift)
a shift of lambda max to shorter wavelengths due to loss in configuration in acid medium
32
hyperchromic and hypochromic shifts
hyperchromic shifts: normal increase in intensity of absorption band due to the presence of auxochrome hypochromic shifts: a normal decrease in intensity of absorption band due to the presence of some groups like alkyl groups
33
applications of electronic spectrum
1) characterization of aromatic compounds 2) determination of impurities 3) process of purification can be controlled 4) det of unknown conc 5) det of molecular weight 6) study of kinetics of chem rn 7) engg researchm industrial analysis, clinical labs etc
34
vibrational spectroscopy
concerned with the study of mainly the vibrational motions of molecules. It arises due to the interaction of molecular dipole moment of matter with em radiation
35
essential requirement for molecule to give IR spectrum
dipole moment of the molecule must change during vibration
36
IR active molecules
IR spectrum is given by diatomic molecules with permanent dipole moment like HCl and molecules with a fluctuating dipole moment like CO2
37
Why is IR spectrum also known as vibrational rotational spectrum
IR spectroscopy involves transitions in various vibrational energy levels of the molecule. since rotational energies are smaller than vibrational energies, both vibration and rotation occur simultaneously
38
natural frequency of vibration
the movement of atoms and chemical bonds are like a spring and ball. This characteristic vibration is called natural frequency
39
criteria for compound to absorb IR radiation
1) correct wavelength of radn | 2) change in dipole moment
40
number of vibrational modes in CO2

41
number of vibrational modes in water vapour
3
42
2 kinds of fundamental vibrations
1) stretching | 2) bending
43
modes of vibration in CO2
1) symmetrical C=O stretch with a wavenumber of 1332cm-1 2) asymmetrical C=O stretch with a wavenumber of 2351cm-1 3) C=O in plane bending with a wavenumber of 671cm-1 4) C=O out of plane bending with a wavenumber of 671cm-1
44
why is symmetrical mode of CO2 considered as IR inactive
does not change the dipole moment of CO2
45
modes of vibration H2O molecule
1) symmetrical stretch with a wavenumber of 3652cm-1 2) asymmetrical stretch with a wavenumber of 3756cm-1 3) Bending with a wavenumber of 1596cm-1
46
application of IR spectrum
det of: 1) force constant of diff bonds 2) shape and symmetry of molecules 3) bondlength 4) identification of unknown compounds 5) impurity detection and qualitative analysis 6) study of chem reaction 7) structural elucidation of org compounds 8) distinguish between intra and inter molecular H bonding 9) identification of functional grps in org molecules 10) tautomeric eqm can be studied

50
NMR spectrum
plot of intensity of NMR signals verses mf with reference to TMS ( tetra methyl silane a reference material)
51
NMR active and NMR inactive nuclei
active: 1) odd Z odd A 2) odd A even A 3) even Z odd A inactive: 1) even Z even A
52
chemical shift
difference between resonance frequency of the observed proton and TMS hydrogen
53
why is TMS used as the reference
it has a conveniently located well defined absorption
54
unit of chemical shift
delta
55
define delta
proportional difference from the reference standard. it is expressed in ppm
56
what causes shift in NMR signals
shielding and deshielding of proton
57
factors affecting chemical shift
1) presence of electronegative grps 2) magnetic anisotropy of pi systems 3) hydrogen bonding
58
magnetic anisotropy
non uniform magnetic field
59
spin-spin splitting / coupling
fine splitting of the peaks in NMR spectrum due to the interaction between protons on adjacent atoms
60
general rules of spin-spin interactions
1) chemically equivalent protons do not show 2) only non equivalent protons couple 3) protons on adjacent Cs normally couple 4) protons separated by 4 or more bonds will not couple
61
why is there no spin spin interaction between the -OH proton and the other protons
in solution H+ ion ionizes easily and leaves the molecule
62
applications of MRI
1) radiology to visualize internal structures 2) uses powerful mf, radio frequency pulses and a computer to produce detailed pics of body structures 3) images can then be examined on a computer system, transmitted electronically, printed or copied to a CD
63
principle of MRI
1) new medical version of NMR 2) clinical MRI uses mag properties of H present in body cells 3) protons interact with large external mf and radio waves to produce highly detailed images of the human body
64
instrumentation of MRI
1) patient is placed in large external mf (0.5 - 1.5T) 2) H nuclei align with the mf 3) mf applied on nuclei produce nuclear energy levels with spacing 4) radio frequency pulse is applied perpendicular to mf which leads to transitions between nuclear energy levels 5) after the removal of RF, the absorbed radn is reemitted 6) the signal produced : free induction decay response signal 7) measured and processed to obtain 3D grey scale MR imgs
65
Larmour precession
the external mf applied on the nuclei produce nuclear energy levels with spacing
66
Applications of MRI
1) Anatomical imaging 2) measuring physiological functions 3) flow measurements and angiography 4) tissue perfusion studies 5) structural diagnosis 6) conformational analysis 7) keto-enol tautomerism 8) H bonding 9) reaction velocities
67
structural diagnosis by NMR specrtum
1) the number of main NMR signals= no. of grps of equivalent protons 2) the peaks should have consistent chemical shifts 3) intensity of peaks should be proportional to the number of protons of various kinds
68
