Principle of IR Spectroscopy

The principle of IR Spectroscopy states that the absorption of IR radiations occurs only by those vibrations of bonds in a molecule which are accompanied by change in dipole moment

Only those wavelength of IR radiations are absorbed which have similar energy as that of quantized vibrational energy levels of that molecule.

The vibrational transitions are also accompanied by rotational transitions of the molecule.

The amount of energy or the stretching vibrational frequency of any bond can be calculated using hooke's law which states that

ν =1/2π√(k/µ)

k = force constant

µ = reduced mass

The reduced mass of any bond is given by: µ = m1.m2/m1+m2

m1 and m2 are the mass of atoms joined by bond.

Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

Atomic Absorption Spectrometry is an absorption spectroscopic technique in which radiation of a particular frequency from a source is absorbed by non-excited neutral gaseous atoms generated in an atomizer in their ground state. The light is absorbed in the UV-visible region and makes transitions to higher electronic energy levels. The amount of light absorbed is quantified and this amount of absorption helps in determining the analyte concentration. (It follows Beer's Law) The concentration is measured by drawing a calibration curve after calibrating instrument with a standard of known concentration. Factors affecting the amount of light absorbed Length of path transversed Concentration of absorbing atoms in the vapour state. The diagrammatic representation of Atomic Absorption Spectrometer are shown in the below diagram: Components Used in Atomic Absorbance Spectrometer: 1. Hollow Cathode Lamp: Acts as source of radiation It is a sha...

Gross and Specific Selection rules for different molecular spectroscopies

Gross selection rule tells whether a molecule will be active or inactive in a particular Spectroscopy. Specific selection rule tells about the allowed changes in the magnitude of energy when it is active in a particular Spectroscopy. Rotational or Microwave Spectroscopy Gross selection rule: permanent dipole moment Specific selection rule: ∆J = +1 or -1 ( for rigid rotor) 2. Vibrational or IR Spectroscopy Gross selection rule: change in dipole moment during vibrations Specific selection rule: ∆v = +1 or -1 ( for harmonic oscillator) 3. Raman Spectroscopy Gross selection rule: change in polarizability Specific selection rule: ∆J = 0, +2 or -2 ∆v = +1 or -1 4. Electronic or UV-Visible Spectroscopy Gross selection rule: No stringent rule Specific selection rule: ∆s = 0 and ∆l = +1 or -1 5. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance or Radio waves Spectroscopy Gross selection rule: nuclear spin should be no zero Specific se...
