What type of information is collected using FTIR fourier transform infrared spectroscopy?

  1. A Morphology of nanomaterial
  2. B Absorption of functional group
  3. C Geometry of particles
  4. D Particle size
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Absorption of functional group

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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 \(-\mathrm{OH},-\mathrm{CH},-\mathrm{NH},-\mathrm{CO}\), etc. This is correct.
3. Geometry of particles
- FTIR does not give information about particle geometry (e.g., spherical or cubic shapes). This is incorrect.
4. Particle size
- FTIR cannot determine particle size. Techniques like DLS (Dynamic Light Scattering) or electron microscopy are used for this. This is incorrect.
