Polymer is composed of two Greek words (i.e., poly= many and mer= simple unit). So, polymers are large molecules (macromolecules) formed by the combination of simple units. The simple compounds … Read more
Mass spectroscopy is the accurate method for determining of molecular mass of the compound and its elemental composition. Principle of Mass Spectroscopy When molecules are bombarded with an energetic electron … Read more
UV spectroscopy involves the promotion of electrons (n, ฯ, ฯ) from the ground state to a higher energy state. In U.V. spectroscopy, the excitation of the electron occurs in the … Read more
Infrared spectroscopy is the measurement of the interaction of IR radiation with compounds. IR region involves the range between region 400-4000 cm-1. IR radiation causes the excitation of molecules from … Read more
