Engineering Chemistry Multiple Choice Questions on “Molecular Spectroscopy”.
1. The different types of energies associated with a molecule are __________
a) Electronic energy
b) Vibrational energy
c) Rotational energy
d) All of the mentioned
Answer: d
Clarification: The different types of energies associated with a molecule are electronic energy, vibrational energy, rotational energy and translational energy.
2. During the motion, if the centre of gravity of molecule changes, the molecule possess __________
a) Electronic energy
b) Rotational energy
c) Translational energy
d) Vibrational energy
Answer: c
Clarification: During the motion, if the centre of gravity of molecule changes, the molecule possess translational energy. Translational refers to the movement in horizontal or vertical direction.
3. The correct order of different types of energies is __________
a) Eel >> Evib >> Erot >> E tr
b) Eel >> Erot >> Evib >> E tr
c) Eel >> Evib >> Etr >> E rot
d) Etr >> Evib >> Erot >> E el
Answer: a
Clarification: The correct order is: Eel >> Evib >> Erot >> E tr. Electronic enrgy is the highest whereas translational energy is the lowest.

7. The results obtained by spectroscopic methods are less reliable, less reproducible and incorrect than classical methods.
a) True
b) False
Answer: b
Clarification: The results obtained by spectroscopic methods are reliable, reproducible and correct than classical methods.
8. The transition zone for Raman spectra is __________
a) Between vibrational and rotational levels
b) Between electronic levels
c) Between magnetic levels of nuclei
d) Between magnetic levels of unpaired electrons
Answer: a
Clarification: The transition zone for Raman spectra is between vibrational and rotational levels. Raman spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique used to observe vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a system.
9. The criteria for electronic spin resonance is ____________
a) Periodic change in polarisability
b) Spin quantum number of nuclei > 0
c) Presence of unpaired electron in a molecule
d) Presence of chromophore in a molecule
Answer: c
Clarification: The criterion for electronic spin resonance is the presence of unpaired electron in a molecule. This spectroscopy is a method for studying materials with unpaired electrons.
