CHEM-710 SPECTROSCOPIC TECHNIQUES – II

Course Tittle: SPECTROSCOPIC TECHNIQUES – II

Course Code: CHEM-710

Credit Hours: (3)

Instructor: MUHAMMAD SHER

DESCRIPTION& OBJECTIVES

Spectroscopic techniques including in this course are very important regarding the identification and characterization of newly synthesized or isolated chemical compounds having different metals using atomic absorption and emission techniques. These courses develop the skill in the student to determine the various elements in various kinds of samples. ICP is very useful techniques for the simultaneous determinations of elements. Molecular luminescence spectroscopy is another major topic in this course, which in turn enable the students to quantify the various substances. Fluorescence studies are now a day’s play a vital role in the monitoring of drugs at nano level in cancer patients. X-rays spectroscopy is another important field of analysis.
