CHEMILUMINESCENCE: SYNTHESIS OF LUMINOL
1. Define the following terms.
a. fluorescence: Fluorescence is the property of some atoms and molecules to absorb light at a particular wavelength and to subsequently emit light of longer wavelength after a brief interval, termed the fluorescence lifetime
b. phosphorescence: The process of phosphorescence occurs in a manner similar to fluorescence, but with a much longer excited state lifetime.
c. chemiluminescence: Chemiluminescence is the generation of electromagnetic ...
