What happens when a molecule absorbs infrared radiation?
It vibrates
covalent bonds
more
View source
What factors affect the amount of vibration of a bond?
Bond strength
Bond length
Mass of each
atom
in the bond
View source
How does infrared spectroscopy work?
Every bond has a unique
vibration frequency
View source
What happens to bonds during infrared spectroscopy?
Bonds absorb radiation matching their
vibration frequency
View source
What does missing infrared radiation indicate in spectroscopy?
It identifies the compound's
functional group
View source
What do the peaks on an infrared spectrum represent?
Absorbance
of energy from
infrared radiation
View source
What are the two peaks that must be present to identify a substance as carboxylic acid?
Broad peak at 2500 - 3300
cm<sup>-1</sup>
→
O-H
group
Sharp peak at 1680 - 1750 cm<sup>-1</sup> →
C=O
group
View source
What happens inside a mass spectrometer?
Organic compound is vaporized and
ionized
View source
What forms when some molecules lose an electron in a mass spectrometer?
Molecular ions
are formed
View source
What effect does excess energy from ionization have on bonds?
It
makes
the
bonds
vibrate
more
View source
What causes molecular ions to split in a mass spectrometer?
Vibration
causes bond weakening
View source
What is the symbol of a molecular ion?
M+
View source
Is fragmentation predictable in mass spectrometry? Why?
No, it can happen anywhere in the
molecule
View source
What is the molecular mass of the molecular ion equal to?
Relative molecular mass
of the compound
View source
Will
the
molecular
ion
peaks
of
two
isomers
of
the
same
compound
be
the
same
or
different
?
Same
View source
How is a molecular ion represented in mass spectrometry?
It is the peak with the highest
m/z ratio
View source
What is the m/z value of CH<sub>3</sub><sup>+</sup>?
15

57
View source
What are the advantages of using mass spectrometry?
Cheap
Small
quantities
of samples required
View source
What is the main disadvantage of using mass spectrometry?
The sample is
completely
destroyed
