Concept Introduction:
Raman and infrared (IR) spectroscopies are branches of vibrational spectroscopy.
For a mode of vibration to be infrared (IR) active, it must give rise to a change in the molecular electric dipole moment.
For a mode of vibration to be Raman active, it must give rise to a change in the polarizability of the molecule.

- Explain why a molecule with no dipole moment is microwave inactive but may show an infrared spectrum.Which of the following molecules may show infrared absorption spectra and, in each case, briefly explain why this is so: (i) H2, (ii) HCl, (iii) CO2 , and (iv) H2O?arrow_forwardThe force constant for the carbon-carbon stretching mode in acetylene is 1.5 x 106 dynes/cm. Calculate the frequency (in cm-1) for the carbon-carbon stretching mode of acetylene.arrow_forwardChemistry Let ωCH be the angular frequency of the C-H bond stretching vibration observed in theIR spectrum of an organic molecule. (Note that angular frequency ω = 2πν). EstimateωC2H, the bond stretching frequency when 1H is substituted by 2H in the molecule.(Express ωC2H in terms of ωCH).arrow_forward

O3 CH4 NH3 H2 H2O SiH4 CF6 C4H10arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between wavenumber and wavelength and how wavenumber is related to energy? Why stretching frequencies decrease from C−Cl to C−Br to C−I?arrow_forwardWhy different molecular bonds have different IR spectroscopic peaks or bands?arrow_forward
- In the infrared spectrum of He79Br, there is an intense line at 2559 cm−1 . Calculate the force constant of He^79 Br and the period of vibration of He^79 Br.arrow_forward13C NMR spectroscopy provides valuable information about the environments of a molecule's carbon atoms. Since carbon atoms are often connected to hydrogen atoms, which could split the carbon signal through spin-spin coupling, the coupling between C and H is often "turned off" through the use of broadband decoupling, causing each C signal to appear as a singlet. Draw an isomer of C5H11Cl that would be expected to have four resonances in its 13C NMR spectra.arrow_forwardDeduce the symmetry of the vibrational modes of the molecule XeCl4. It would be possible identify the geometry of this compound (planar square or tetrahedral) using the vibrational spectroscopy technique? Explain using the concept of group theory.arrow_forward
