Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

00. Complete Active Learning Units with Supporting Text, g. NMR, In Class Activities, Textual Material
Introduction The goal of this unit is to develop introductory concepts on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy that are most relevant for undergraduate chemistry majors. Development of the concepts of NMR is accomplished through an examination of the normal hydrogen (1H) nucleus. The unit is focused on understanding what occurs in molecules and within the NMR…

Atomic Spectroscopy

h. Atomic Spectroscopy
Students explore basic aspects of atomic spectroscopy including absorption and emission. Flame and graphite furnace AA are covered. ICP emission spectroscopy is covered. The importance of matrix effects is developed. There is an associated text that explains the answers to the questions on the worksheet.

Molecular Luminescence Spectroscopy

e. Fluorescence/Luminescence
Students explore basic aspects of luminescence spectroscopy including energy level diagrams and the processes of fluorescence and phosphorescence. Processes that result in fluorescence quenching are also covered. There is an associated text that explains the answers to the questions on the worksheet.

Infrared Spectroscopy

d. Infrared
Students explore basic aspects of infrared spectroscopy including the operation of an FT-IR. There is an associated text that explains the answers to the questions on the worksheet.

UV/VIS Spectroscopy

c. UV/Vis
Students explore basic aspects of UV/Vis spectroscopy including effects of conjugation, non-bonding electrons and solvent on the observed spectrum. There is an associated text that explains the answers to the questions on the worksheet.

UV/VIS Spectroscopy

c. UV/Vis
In this activity, students prepare a solution, record spectral data, and then complete several statistical analyses of the data.
