electronic spectroscopy

Question 1

the energy associated with transitions between electronic states in molecules correspond tooo

Answer 1

UV
VISIBLE

Question 2

absorption in the visible region gives what

Answer 2

gives things colour!!

Question 3

main types of electronic transitions that allow colour

Answer 3

• between d orbitals in transition metal ions
• between an orbital in a ligand and an orbital in a metal ion
• between 🥧 orbitals in conjugated organic compounds

Question 4

what is colour the result of

Answer 4

energy from the VISIBLE light region of EMS being absorbed due to corresponding to the energy gap between 2 electronic energy levels

Question 5

spectrophotometers

Answer 5

specs that measure absorbance of UV VIS radiation at a single wavelength

Question 6

both atoms and molecules have electrons in quantised energy levels meaning both haveeee

Answer 6

electronic absorption spectra

Question 7

in molecules how are electronic transitions seen

Answer 7

an electron in a lower energy occupied molecular orbital is promoted to a higher energy unoccupied or partially occupied molecular orbital
