What is true about modern methods used in the determination of the structure of compounds?

Correct answer: D. Accurate, simple and less time consuming

  • A. Accurate but more time consuming
  • B. Accurate, rapid but chemicals are used in large amounts
  • C. Accurate, rapid but sophisticated and complicated
  • D. Accurate, simple and less time consuming

Explanation

The modern methods used by scientists to identify and differentiate between cell structures are efficient, accurate, simple, and less time-consuming in comparison to the methods used in the past. Examples are IR spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, NMR, etc.

About Spectroscopy and Analysis

Spectroscopy studies how substances absorb, emit or interact with electromagnetic radiation. Coverage includes ultraviolet-visible absorption, infrared identification of functional groups, Beer-Lambert law, spectral interpretation and the use of spectroscopic data to identify or determine the concentration of chemical substances.
