BIOCHEMICAL ENGINEERING INSTRUMENTATION - EXAMPLE 29.6 : In infrared spectrum, one of the factors affecting peak location is the mass of the atoms. The stretching frequency of a bond connected to a lighter atom will be greater than the same bond connected to a heavier atom. (a) For halogens like florine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I) and astatine (At), what is their IUPAC group number? Hint : The proton numbers for F, Cl, Br, I and At are 9, 17, 35, 53 and 85 respectively. (b) For the compounds of H-F, H-Cl, H-Br, H-I and H-At, which one has the lowest stretching frequency and which one has the highest stretching frequency? State the reasons.

BIOCHEMICAL ENGINEERING INSTRUMENTATION - ANSWER 29.6 : (a) 17. (b) Lowest stretching frequency : H-At. Highest stretching frequency : H-F. Reasons : F has the lowest proton number 9 and At has the highest proton number 85. For the compound of H-X, the stretching frequency of the bond decreases when the mass of X increases and vice versa.
