The Medicine Flashcards
What is the order of wavelengths
Gamma X Uv Visible I fared Micro Radio
What are light waves
Moving electric and magnetic fields vibrating at 90 degrees to each other at the speed of light- energy from these electromagnetic fields makes the wave move
Three type of excitation of a molecule
Electronic
Vibrational
Rotational
Why is UV spectrum broad
Photons with slight difference in energy can still cause electronic transitions by exciting elections from the many vibrational states that corresponds to its energy
The three types of orbitals are:
Sigma
Pi
Non-bonding (n)
Uv absorption uses
Identification of drugs
Measuring reactions
Quantification of drugs
Bp limit for wavelength
Plus or minus 1nm for standard at a given wavelength
A269/A266 0.02% toluene resolution check B.P. limit
More than or equal to 1.5
BP limit for stray light 1.2% KCl solution against water
A>2 at 198nm
Bp limit for path length
Plus or minus 0.0005cm
Abs of solvent used against air at prescribed wavelength
Should not >0.4 and is preferably <0.2
3 rules of absorption process
Molecules excited to higher energy state (vibrational)
Absorption is quantisized
Absorption of IR for a given bond depends on:
- Mass of atoms connected to the bond
- Strength of the bond (double takes more energy to stretch)
- Dipole moment
Suitable cells for IR - non aqueous samples

NaCl
CaF2
CsI
Suitable cells for IR - aqueous samples

Diamond
Applications of near IR
Quality control Particle size Blend uniformity Identification of polymorphic drugs Determination of moisture
