Chemical Tests for Functional Groups

Qualitative tests: bromine water, acidified potassium dichromate, Tollens' reagent, Fehling's solution, and sodium carbonate.

Infrared Spectroscopy

Covalent bond vibrations, wavenumber absorptions, the fingerprint region, and the molecular basis of the greenhouse effect.

Mass Spectrometry for Organic Compounds

Relative molecular mass from molecular ion peaks (M⁺), fragmentation patterns, and high-resolution mass spectrometry.

Exam Practice
