spin resonance spec Flashcards
electron spin quantum number letter and value
s
1/2
how many spin states do electrons have
2
spin magnetic quantum number sign and values
ms
+1/2
-1/2
what happens to the spins of electrons when they’re paired up
the spins cancel out
neutrons and protons also have spins which means
nuclei also have spin quantum numbers
what is the nuclear spin quantum number and it’s value
I aka i
1/2
what values can I (nuclear spin quantum number) have
many values
nuclear spin magnetic quantum number value and sign
mi
+ 1/2
- 1/2
whenever the word has magnetic in it what should we had to the 1/2 values
+ and - signs
what does a spinning charge have
an associated magnetic field
it acts as a small magnet
imagine a blurry electron arrow rotating/ spinning. the blur is the associated magnetic field.
when a spin is placed in an external magnetic field, what is allowed
2 different states are allowed
one with higher energy - aligns with magnetic field
one with lower energy - is against the magnetic field
what does the external magnetic field do to the energies of the spin stated
caused them to split
what affect on splitting does a stronger magnetic field do
it splits them even more girl!!!
they’re more spaced out shelves of a book shelf, higher steps to climb.
the difference between the 2 is 🔺E
what about the energy of electrons when there is no external magnetic field
they are degenerate and at the same levels as there has been no splitting depending on if the nuclei or electron spin aligns or goes against the external magnetic field.
what is important abojt the electrons or nuclei that can split when an external magnetic field is added
they must have unpaired electrons or else the spins will cancel out.
what is a flip between the states
promotion of a nucleus of electron to a higher spin state where it then falls back to a lower state.
what happens in spin resonance spec
compound is placed in a strong external magnetic field.
if nuclei (neu + pro) or electrons are unpaired, they get separated into their spin states of diff energy.
what do the diff spin state energy’s depend on
if the electrons or nucleis magnetic spin aligns or goes against the external magnetic field
what affects the energy change aka distance between the 2 spin state energies
the strength or the magnetic field.
what EMS waves correspond to the change in energy between spin stages for nuclei
radio waves
what EMS wave corresponds to the energy change between electron spin states
MICROWAVES
what are the two types of spin resonance spec
electron spin resonance ESR
nuclear magnetic resonance NMR
what is electron spin resonance spec used for
studying species with unpaired electrons
eg: radicals
what is NMR used for
very useful in structure determination - can find functional groups
1H and 13C application (unpaired electrons)
