Introduction to spectroscopy, infrared spec, and mass spec

Introduction to infrared and mass spec.

The use of electromagnetic radiation to measure the interaction between a sample and spectroscopy allows for the identification of components in a sample. Spectroscopy can be used as an analytical tool. Two of the most widely used spectroscopic tools in chemistry, biology, and materials science are mass spectrometry, or infrared (IR) spectroscopy. IR spectroscopy can be used to find the functional group for a compound and to quantify their presence in a mixture. MS can be used, however, to analyse the masses and determine the elemental content of an ions present in a sample (Chen, 2019 and Zhao et.al., 2020). MS and IR spectroscopy, two of the most common analytical tools used to analyze a sample’s composition and structure are MS and IR spectroscopy. MS uses ionization to separate the different ions from the sample. In IR spectroscopy the sample is irradiated using infrared radiation. The resulting vibrations and absorptions are used to quantify and identify the component parts of the sample. MS spectroscopy is complementary to IR spectroscopy. MS gives more information about the elements of a sample while IR…
