What type of information is collected using FTIR fourier transform infrared spectroscopy?
Options
- AMorphology of nanomaterial
- BAbsorption of functional group
- CGeometry of particles
- DParticle size
Correct answer
B. Absorption of functional group
Step-by-step solution
1. Morphology of nanomaterial - FTIR does not provide information about morphology (shape, structure) of nanomaterials. Techniques like SEM or TEM are used for this. This is incorrect. 2. Absorption of functional group - FTIR identifies functional groups by detecting characteristic absorption bands in the infrared region, such as those for - OH ,- CH ,- NH ,- CO , etc. This is correct. 3. Geometry of particles - FTIR does not give information about particle geometry (e.g., spherical or cubic shapes). This is incorr
