(a)
Interpretation:
The vibrations that can be assigned to strong absorption bands and the possible causes of the weak absorptions is to be stated.

Interpretation Whether
Concept introduction:
The IR absorption spectroscopy makes use of a mid infrared light that detects the particular types of
(c)
Interpretation:
The number of fundamental vibration modes for
Concept introduction:
It is necessary to alter the dipole moment of the molecule for a compound to be IR active. Some bonds are able to absorb infrared light more than other molecules whereas some bonds don’t absorb the IR radiations at all.
(d)
Interpretation:
The number of fundamental vibrational modes for methane, benzene, toluene, ethylene and carbon tetrachloride is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The molecular vibrations take place when atoms of a molecule are executing periodic motion while the molecules either have constant translational motion or rotational motion. The fundamental vibration is excited when the molecule absorbs one quantum of energy in the ground state.

In a single sentence, describe the reason for the difference.arrow_forward
- The IR spectrum of HCN shows three strong absorption band at 3312 cm⁻¹, 2089 cm⁻¹ and 712 cm⁻¹ from this information alone can you deduce whether HCN is linear or nonlinear? Assuming that HCN is linear assign vibration to the three absorption bands.arrow_forwardProvide brief definitions of fluorescence and phosphorescence, with aid of a Jablonski diagramarrow_forwardWhat is involved in Phases l and Phases ll of biotransformation?arrow_forward
- Predict the shape of the nitronium ion, NO2+, from its Lewis structure and the VSEPR model. It has one Raman active vibrational mode at 1400 cm−1, two strong IR active modes at 2360 and 540 cm−1, and one weak IR mode at 3735 cm−1. Are these data consistent with the predicted shape of the molecule? Assign the vibrational wavenumbers to the modes from which they arise.arrow_forwardSuggest a reason why the spin-lattice relaxation time of benzene (a small molecule) in a mobile, deuterated hydrocarbon solvent increases whereas that of a polymer decreases.arrow_forwardDiscuss the origins of the local, neighbouring group, and solvent contributions to the shielding constant.arrow_forward
- The following data refer to a family of compounds with the general composition A-Bn-C in which the distance R between A and C was varied by increasing the number of B units in the linker: Are the data described adequately by the Forster theory, If so, what is the value of R0 for the A-C pair?arrow_forwardAmong TiCl4, VCl3 and FeCl2- which one will be drawn more strongly into a magnetic field and why?arrow_forwardThe absorption spectra of solutions containing Br2 are solvent dependent. When elemental bromine is dissolved in nonpolar solvents such as hexane, a single absorption band in the visible spectrum is observed near 500 nm. When Br2 is dissolved in methanol, however, this absorption band shifts and a new band is formed. Account for the appearance of the new band. Is the 500 nm band likely to shift to a longer or shorter wavelength in methanol? Why?arrow_forward
