Question

Transcribed Image Text:1. Sample preparation of infrared spectroscopy uses KBr as the blank because Kbr has 100%
transmittance at the IR wavelength range.
True
False
2. The signals observed from a molecule of chloropropane will have a higher wavenumber than
iodopropane.
True
False
3. Among all the possible vibrational modes, symmetric stretching will be IR inactive.
True
False
4. Infrared spectroscopic data is reported in wavenumber (cm1) against absorbance because
they have a linear relationship.
True
False
5. A hygroscopic organic sample to be subjected to IR does not need to be kept dry because
water molecules in the air will not affect the IR spectra.
True
False
6. The electromagnetic radiation that is emitted in infrared spectroscopy is not enough to excite
electrons to an unoccupied molecular orbital.
True
False
7. A molecule that is "IR inactive" means that it does not produce any signal due to no vibration.
True
False

Transcribed Image Text:8. A strong signal in infrared spectroscopy indicates that a molecule matches the emitted
electromagnetic radiation and reports a high transmittance.
True
False
9. The signals observed from the C-C bond in an alkene will report at a higher wavenumber than
the C-C bond in an alkyne.
True
False
10. The electronegativity difference present in a dipole moment within a bond is directly
proportional to the electromagnetic field produced.
True
False
