Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The difference between styrene (PhCH=CH2) and ethylbenzene is to be stated using UV spectroscopy.

Concept introduction:

Spectroscopy method is used to identify the structure of the molecule. It is based on the interactions between matter and electromagnetic radiations. The absorption is a phenomenon in which the matter goes into the bulk phase. The absorption of light in the UV region happens due to the transition of electrons from one level to another. The symbol, λmax is the wavelength of maximum absorption.
