Which of the following methods, relatively gives more information about the structure of an organic compound:
Correct answer: B. NMR Spectroscopy
- A. Mass Spectroscopy
- B. NMR Spectroscopy
- C. IR Spectroscopy
- D. U.V Visible Spectroscopy
Explanation
Among the options provided, NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) Spectroscopy gives more detailed information about the structure of an organic compound. It provides insights into the connectivity of atoms, the arrangement of functional groups, and the environment around specific nuclei (like hydrogen and carbon). This technique is especially powerful in elucidating the stereochemistry of molecules. Therefore, option b is correct.

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.
