Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The distribution of unpaired electron density in the ethyl radical and tert-butyl radical as compared to the methyl radical is to be explained and the relative stability of the radicals is to be represented.

Concept introduction:

The chemical species that consists of unpaired electrons is called a radical. Radicals are formed by homolytic cleavage and can be positive, negative, or neutral species. They are an important part of any chemical reaction.

Which of the following is most UNLIKELY to absorb in the UV-Vis region? a. chlorophyll b. heptane c. nitrophenol d. beta-carotene
At each wavelength, the Beer-Lambert equation states that absorbance is proportional to concentration. For quantitative concentration estimations, any wavelength might theoretically be used. However, we usually choose the wavelength with the highest absorbance for a specific sample and utilize that in our absorbance measurements. The steeper parts of the spectrum should be avoided. Why?
Ultraviolet and visible molecular absorption spectroscopy is used primarily for quantitative analysis. On the other hand Infrared absorption spectroscopy is a very powerful tool for determining the identity and structure of both inorganic and organic compounds. Which of these statements is correct?     Only the first statement is correct     Only the second statement is correct     Both statements are correct     None of the statements is correct
