Infrared spectroscopy is a useful tool for scientists who want to investigate the structure of certain molecules. Which of the f
ollowing best explains what can occur as the result of a molecule absorbing a photon of infrared radiation? The energies of infrared photons are in the same range as the energies associated with changes between different electronic energy states in atoms and molecules. Molecules can absorb infrared photons of characteristic wavelengths, thus revealing the energies of electronic transitions within the molecules. A The energies of infrared photons are in the same range as the energies associated with different vibrational states of chemical bonds. Molecules can absorb infrared photons of characteristic wavelengths, thus revealing the types and strengths of different bonds in the molecules. B The energies of infrared photons are in the same range as the energies associated with different rotational states of molecules. Molecules can absorb infrared photons of characteristic wavelengths, thus revealing the energies of transition between different rotational energy states of the molecules. C The energies of infrared photons are in the same range as the total bond energies of bonds within molecules. Chemical bonds can be completely broken as they absorb infrared photons of characteristic wavelengths, thus revealing the energies of the bonds within the molecules.
Answer:The energies of infrared photons are in the same range as the energies associated with different vibrational states of chemical bonds. Molecules can absorb infrared photons of characteristic wavelengths, thus revealing the types and strengths of different bonds in the molecules.
Explanation:
Infrared spectroscopy measures the vibrational energy levels in a molecule. When a molecule absorbs Infrared photons, the chemical bonds vibrate at different frequency. An analysis of the changes in vibrational energy within a molecule can be used to ascertain the different kinds of bond and hence the overall structure of the molecule. The vibrational modes of a molecule includes; bending, stretching and scissoring.
When a gas container (in this case an aerosol can) is subjected to heat (from fire), the temperature of the can and subsequently <u><em>the temperature of the gas itself increases</em></u>, an increase in the temperature of the gas cause <u><em>the pressure to also increase;</em></u> as the gas molecules will collide more and faster with each other and against the wall of the can. However, the volume of the gas will remain the same as before it was subjected to the heat - the gas particles do not get destroyed or increased as a result of the heat (law of conservation of matter explains this).
Gravity pulls the balls down the ramp, and the force of gravity is bigger on larger-mass objects. The extra force on the bigger ball means that it has more energy when it gets to the bottom of the ramp and consequently travels more before stopping.
