A chromophore is a part of a molecule responsible for its color by absorbing light in the ultraviolet (UV), visible, or infrared (IR) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. It contains electrons that undergo electronic transitions when exposed to light of specific wavelengths, resulting in absorption. Characteristics of Chromophores 1. Conjugated …
Classification of Organic Compounds
Organic compounds are primarily made of carbon atoms in combination with hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and other elements. These compounds are classified based on various criteria such as the structure of the carbon chain, the presence of specific functional groups, and the nature of the carbon-carbon bonds. Here’s a …
