Abstract

Spectroscopy plays a pivotal role in the field of chemical analysis by enabling scientists to study the composition and structure of chemical substances. Various spectroscopic techniques, such as UV-Vis, infrared (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and mass spectrometry, offer insights into molecular structures, functional groups, and atomic compositions. This article explores the principles of these techniques, their applications in chemical analysis, and how they contribute to advancements in fields like pharmaceuticals, environmental monitoring, and materials science. The article emphasizes the versatility, sensitivity, and non-destructive nature of spectroscopic methods in analytical chemistry.
