What is the principle behind UV-Vis Spectroscopy?
Click to flip
UV-Vis Spectroscopy is based on the absorption of ultraviolet or visible light by electrons in a molecule, often leading to electronic transitions.
Click to flip
How does Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy identify functional groups in a molecule?
Click to flip
IR Spectroscopy identifies functional groups by measuring the absorption of IR radiation, which causes molecular vibrations specific to different bonding arrangements.

What is NMR Spectroscopy used for?
Click to flip
NMR Spectroscopy is used to determine the structure of organic compounds by analyzing the magnetic environment of atomic nuclei.
Click to flip
Which type of molecule can be analyzed by Mass Spectrometry?
Click to flip
Mass Spectrometry can analyze a wide range of molecules, including small organic molecules, proteins, peptides, and polymers.
Click to flip
What role does atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) play in chemical analysis?
Click to flip
AAS is used for quantitative analysis of metal ions present in samples by measuring the absorption of light.
Click to flip
How is Raman Spectroscopy different from IR Spectroscopy?
Click to flip
Raman Spectroscopy relies on inelastic scattering of light (Raman scattering) rather than absorption, providing complementary vibrational information to IR Spectroscopy.
Click to flip
What is the purpose of an internal standard in spectroscopy?
Click to flip
The internal standard is used to correct for variations in experimental conditions and improve the accuracy of quantitative spectroscopic analysis.
Click to flip
Why is calibration important in spectroscopic analysis?
Click to flip
Calibration ensures the accuracy and reliability of spectroscopic measurements by comparing them against known standards.
Click to flip
What is X-ray fluorescence (XRF) used for?
Click to flip
XRF is used to determine the elemental composition of materials by measuring the fluorescent X-rays emitted from a sample.
Click to flip
How does fluorescence spectroscopy differ from absorption spectroscopy?
Click to flip
Fluorescence spectroscopy measures light emitted by a substance after absorbing light, while absorption spectroscopy measures light absorbed by a substance.
Click to flip
How is quantitative information obtained from UV-Vis Spectroscopy?
Click to flip
Quantitative information is obtained using the Beer-Lambert Law, which correlates absorbance to concentration, path length, and molar absorptivity.
Click to flip
What is the advantage of using 2D-NMR techniques?
Click to flip
2D-NMR techniques provide detailed information about molecular interactions and connectivity, enhancing the analysis and structural determination.
Click to flip
How does Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) function?
Click to flip
ICP-MS ionizes samples with an inductively coupled plasma and detects ions to determine elemental composition with high sensitivity.
Click to flip
What is FTIR and how does it work?
Click to flip
FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) Spectroscopy measures infrared spectra by collecting an interferogram and transforming it into an IR spectrum using Fourier Transform.
Click to flip
What factors can affect spectroscopic measurements?
Click to flip
Factors such as sample preparation, instrument calibration, temperature, and solvent interactions can affect spectroscopic measurements.
