Chapter 16, Problem 16.30E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The $g_{\text{e}}$ value for an unpaired electron when a radical is exposed to a magnetic field of $\text{2776}\text{G}$ and absorbs a wavelength of $\text{4}\text{.05}\text{cm}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Electron spin resonance is the method to study the materials with an unpaired electron. An unpaired electron absorbs the microwave radiation under the strong magnetic field. The difference between two energy levels is calculated by the formula shown below.

$\Delta E_{\text{mag}}=g_{\text{e}}\cdot {\mu }_{\text{B}}\cdot B$
