What is spectroscopy and it's types?Explain.
1 Answer
look below...
Explanation:
In my experience, spectroscopy is something that can be used to find out an unknown molecule. They have graphs you can use to determine what stuff there are,
The kind of spectroscopy i know is...
C NMR, IR (infared) and Mass spectroscopy.
C NMR (Carbon NMR) is used to find out how many different 'carbon' environments there are in a molecule. In the same way, H NMR is used to find out 'hydrogen' environments.
IR, is used to find out types of chemical bonds like, C=C (carbon atoms double bonded to another carbon atom) or maybe even a carbon bonded to a hydrogen.
Mass spectroscopy can be used to find out the mass of a molecule or the mass of other molecules that came from the original molecule.
In summary...
C NMR = how many carbon stuff
IR = what bonds there are
Mass spec. = what mass does the molecule have
together, these can help you find out an unknown molecule; helps you figure out what thing you have.
