UV Spectrophometer UV Spectrum @H.G Fundamentals of UV absorption UV spectroscopy involves absorption spectroscopy where molecules interact with UV radiation and produce absorption spectra in the range of 200nm to 400nm. UV spectroscopy is a molecular spectroscopic method arising due to transition of valence electrons in a molecule from the ground state energy (Ee) to the higher excited state (Ee).
Then the difference in change of energy is ΔE = Ee- Eg = hν
Prepared by H.G Types of Electronic Transition Energy absorbed in the UV region by valence electrons causes transition from ground state to excited state.
The valence electrons are exited The energy required for various from bonding to an antibonding transitions are in the following order. orbitals (or HOMO to LUMO) σ → σ* > n → σ* c→ π* > n→ π* Prepared by H.G ABSORPTION CURVE

Spin Selection Rule- Change of Spin Quantum Number is FORBIDDEN
Transition between same spin states allowed: singlet -> singlet, triplet -> triplet, others are forbidden: singlet -> triplet, doublet -> singlet, etc.
