Q

radiation (uv, bis, infrared, microwave, radio wave) is used to name spec whyyyy

A

bc it corresponds to the energy used for transitions to occur at that energy level.

easier to say the radiation type rather than the amount of KJmol-1

Q

the magnetic strength,, Bo alters what

A

alters the severity of splitting,, the higher the Bo,, the more they split

the larger the energy gap between the high(-) and low energy gap (+)

Q

what is the selection rule for NMR spec

A

change in ml = +- 1

difference between splits of high and low energy can only be +-1

frequency applied must equal the energy gap between the high and low split

25
high energy split is alpha or beta
betaaaaaa b
26
low energy split is alpha or beta
alphaaaaaa ( more stable so better)
27
Nb/Na is population at equilibrium,, what else does it equal
= e ^ -🔺E/kT this cannot equal 1 or else the populations are the same and NMR will not work.
28
normally there is a higher population on the
Na (lower energy level)
29
is nmr sensitive,, and why
not sensitive - sensitivity depends on the population difference (Na-Nb) which depends on Bo(affects splitting l) and Bo is very small in NMR spec. which is why heat can be used - bc the energy gap is so small. bc Bo is small
30
in nmr, can heat be used to transition nuclei into higher energy levels
yessss. bc the energy between them is low bc NMR uses radio waves which are low in energy
31
what is y
proportionality constant,, gyromagnetic ratio
32
v (frequency) equals
y Bo / 2n n = pi 🥧
33
when are the ml values degenerate
when there is no external magnetic field
34
why are the ml values degenerate when there is no external magnetic field
bc there is nothing for them to interact with think of magnets when they attract//repel this means the energy of the system is not affected - bc theyre degenarate bc they have nothing to interact with.
35
when a nucleus is placed in a magnetic field,, are all ml values the same
nope girl <3 they will be different based on their different orientations. different orientations = different energies as they will react with the external field differently.
36
are all orientations of the nuclear magnetic moment allowed
nopeee,, nuclear spins are quantised so only some orientations will work. these also depend on the external/ applied magnetic field.
37
ml = 1/2 will have how many orientations
2 orientations : +-1/2 2I 👁️ + 1 energy levels.
38
in nmr,, what does the signal intensity show
the number of nuclei giving rise to a transition
39
weaker signals are linked to
low gyromagnetic values small y values
40
larger signals are linked to
higher gyromagnetic values larger y values
41
why is nmr not sensitive
the difference in population between high energy and low energy are very similar. they have nealry identical populations in their energy levels - this gives a weak NMR signal as the gyromagnetic ratio would be small.
42
magnetisation
- net alignment of nuclei in the direction of the field. aka most of the nuclei are aligned in the z axis direction aka UPPP. nuclei are aligned up,, following the z axis.
43
once the nuclei are aligned with the direction of the field (z axis) what happens if electromagnetic radiation is applied to the z axis at 90*
the net magnetisation,M, is perturbated ( it moves from its usual course of motion) towards the xy plane where it precesses (moves around) around the z axis at v=yBo/2n
44
scroot for net magnetisation
when most nuclei are aligned with the z axis when they look up
45
scroot for what happens when EMR of frequency, v, is applied to the z axis at 90*
the nuclei are distubed from their z axis alignement,, they are moved towards the xy plane and rotate around the z axis
46
what can be measured to give a spectrum
the oscillating magnetisation (the regular movement) induces a current. this can be measured to give a spectrum
47
what to think of when we say precession
think of like a spinner spinning Bo arrow going up with the Z axis and the spinners spinning aligned to it. this happens when a magnetic field is applied to the nuclei.
48
precession frequency = lamour frequency equation
v = y Bo / 2n dependent on magnetogyric ratio and the magnetic field strength
49
do we need to know the gyromagnetic number
nope,, its a constant that differs with each isotope.
50
applying a radiofrequency pulse at right angles to Bo (the line following the z axis,, that the nuclei are spinning along) what happens
nuclei flip down to the xy plane together whilst continuing to spin // precess. this produces (the magnetisation vector) a current, a signal is detected and amplified. the oscillating signal has sin wave shape with decreasing magnitude,,, the magnitude decreases as the nucleus realigns with the Bo, magnetic field. FREE INDUCTION DECAY
51
unpaired protons// neutrons have different FIDs at different frequencies due to what
due to them being different as theyre in different chemical environments - due to different shielding from electron densities around them. the electron densities shield the nucleus from the applied magnetic field, Bo, giving it a lower larmor frequency (speed at which it spins around Bo // z axis)
52
high electron density around nucleus
low larmor frequency slow spin shielded from Bo
53
low electron density
less shielding from Bo larger larmor frequency faster rate of spinning around the z axis // Bo.
54
at equilibrium the nuclei is aligned with what (rotating frame)
the z axs
55
when pulsing / excitation occurs the nuclei are what (rotating frame)
pushed into the xy plane
56
when relaxation happens what happens (rotating frame)
the nuclei align themslf back with the z axis.
57
laboratory frame considers theeee
precession of magnetisation the spinning this is the photo with the cone above and below the circle/ nuc along the axis
58
what does the rotating frame do
removes the time dependence removes the rotation this is the graph type photo where z is the y axis and x is the x axis. and it shows the arrow being aligned with the z at equilibrium, then excited towards the x, then relaxed back towards the z.
59
is the resonance frequency equal to the excitation frequency
nope bc of shielding due to electrons. diff nuclei in the same nucleus will have different frequencies bc they may have more e- density around them etc.
60
what do we like the measure the difference of
the difference between resonance and excitation frequencies
61
what is induced current
current that is generated
62
what happens to the induced current over time
it decays,, causing the nuclei to go back into equilibrium ,, they align back with the z axis.
63
free induction decay - what is measured
RELATIVE FREQUENCIES diff between excitation and the frequency of the NMR signal
64
different signals give
different free induction decay
65
what can we meaure simultaneously
we can measure many resonance frequencies results in a free induction decay made up of many overlapping signals they decrease in intensity gives raw nmr data
66
raw nmr data // many overlapping signals // fid is converted from a time domain to a
frequency domain as it separates the different overlapping signals
67
how does the fourier transform occur
used to separate different signals signal frequency / operating spec frequency to give a universal scale
68
different magnet strength will give a different nmr spectra.
