Question 17

Which statement correctly describes the physical principles or observations associated with the analytical techniques used to study alcohols, haloalkanes, and atmospheric gases?

In infrared spectroscopy, the absorption of radiation by a covalent bond causes electronic transitions, exciting bonding electrons to higher energy levels.

In the mass spectrum of a monobromoalkane, the molecular ion peak appears as two peaks of approximately equal intensity, separated by two mass-to-charge (m/zm/zm/z) units.

Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane contribute to global warming by absorbing incoming high-energy ultraviolet radiation directly from the Sun.

During fragmentation in a mass spectrometer, a molecular ion breaks down into a positive ion and a free radical, both of which are deflected by the magnetic field and detected.
