Spectroscopy
Read our general notes on Risk Assessment
The developments in spectroscopy have transformed the subject by allowing chemists to study the behaviour of particular atoms, molecules or chemical bonds.
In an advanced chemistry course you are expected to be familiar with:
In most AS courses you really only have to know about mass spectrometry. The other instrumental methods are part of the for A2 programme.

Recently Asked Questions
- I'm having a bit of trouble with spectroscopy and I was wondering how you work out the number of protons (hydrogens) from the NMR spectra (if they don't tell you) because the text book says the area underneath is equivalent yet how do you work out the area? 021108
- A student is completing her investigation on synthesis of anethole she has done an I.R on her product but unfortunately we are unable to find a I.R spectra of anethole for comparison. Any ideas? 260308
- Mass spectra - how do I calculate the intensity ratio of the 84/86/88 peaks of CH2Cl2 (dichloromethane)?
