This set of Engineering Chemistry Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Molecular Spectroscopy”.
1. The different types of energies associated with a molecule are __________
a) Electronic energy
b) Vibrational energy
c) Rotational energy
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The different types of energies associated with a molecule are electronic energy, vibrational energy, rotational energy and translational energy.
2. During the motion, if the centre of gravity of molecule changes, the molecule possess __________
a) Electronic energy
b) Rotational energy
c) Translational energy
d) Vibrational energy
View Answer
Explanation: During the motion, if the centre of gravity of molecule changes, the molecule possess translational energy. Translational refers to the movement in horizontal or vertical direction.
3. The correct order of different types of energies is __________
a) Eel >> Evib >> Erot >> E tr
b) Eel >> Erot >> Evib >> E tr
c) Eel >> Evib >> Etr >> E rot
d) Etr >> Evib >> Erot >> E el
View Answer
Explanation: The correct order is: Eel >> Evib >> Erot >> E tr. Electronic enrgy is the highest whereas translational energy is the lowest.
4. The region of electromagnetic spectrum for nuclear magnetic resonance is __________
a) Microwave
b) Radio frequency
c) Infrared
d) UV-rays
View Answer
Explanation: The region of the electromagnetic spectrum for nuclear magnetic resonance is radio frequency.
5. Which of the following is an application of molecular spectroscopy?
a) Structural investigation
b) Basis of understanding of colors
c) Study of energetically excited reaction products
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The various applications of molecular spectroscopy are- Structural investigation, basis of understanding of colors and study of energetically excited reaction products.
6. Select the correct statement from the following option.
a) Spectroscopic methods require less time and more amount of sample than classical methods
b) Spectroscopic methods require more time and more amount of sample than classical methods
c) Spectroscopic methods require less time and less amount of sample than classical methods
d) Spectroscopic methods require more time and less amount of sample than classical methods
View Answer
Explanation: Spectroscopic methods require less time and less amount of sample than classical methods (1 mg).
7. The results obtained by spectroscopic methods are less reliable, less reproducible and incorrect than classical methods.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The results obtained by spectroscopic methods are reliable, reproducible and correct than classical methods.
8. The transition zone for Raman spectra is __________
a) Between vibrational and rotational levels
b) Between electronic levels
c) Between magnetic levels of nuclei
d) Between magnetic levels of unpaired electrons
View Answer
Explanation: The transition zone for Raman spectra is between vibrational and rotational levels. Raman spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique used to observe vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a system.
9. The criteria for electronic spin resonance is ____________
a) Periodic change in polarisability
b) Spin quantum number of nuclei > 0
c) Presence of unpaired electron in a molecule
d) Presence of chromophore in a molecule
View Answer
Explanation: The criterion for electronic spin resonance is the presence of unpaired electron in a molecule. This spectroscopy is a method for studying materials with unpaired electrons.
10. Sample recovery is possible after spectroscopic analysis because the sample is not chemically affected.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Sample recovery is possible after spectroscopic analysis because the sample is not chemically affected.
