When white light falls on a substance then following things may happen:
iii) And if a portion of light is absorbed ,then the substance has a colour of reflected
light.
If only a single band is absorbed , the sustance has the complementary colour of the
absorbed band.
Many theory has been given to correlate colour with the molecular structure. These
are:
i) Witt’s theory
ii) Electronic theory of colour( will discuss in online classes)
a) Valence bond theory
b) Molecular orbital theory
Dyes - A dye is a coloured substance that can be formely fixed to the substrate by
chemical and physical bonding. Dyes are usually soluble in water.
Azo dye : Azo dyes are organic compounds having the functional group
R –N = N –R’ , in which R and R’are usually aryl group. Azo dyes constitute the
largest class of synthetic dyes.
Methyl orange:
Methyl orange
Uses – It is not a dye for textiles because it is sensitive to acid . Hence it is used
as an indicator in acid base titration. It is yellow in basic solution and red in
acidic solution
Congo Red:
Synthesis – It is obtained by coupling tetrazotised benzidine with two moles of
naphthaonic acid.
Malachite green:
Crystal violet:
Crystal violet
