A laboratory practical examination was used to compare the investigative skills developed in two different types of general‐chemistry laboratory courses. Science and engineering majors (SEM) in the control group used a traditional verification approach (SEM‐Ctrl), whereas those in the treatment group learned from an innovative, inquiry‐based approach (SEM‐Trt). A scoring rubric was developed from their examination sheets to assess six component investigative skills. Results indicated that SEM students in the SEM‐Trt group scored significantly higher than those in SEM‐Ctrl for all six skills. Furthermore, nursing and applied science majors (NonSEM) in the inquiry‐based group (NonSEM‐Trt) wrote significantly better discussions than did SEM students in SEM‐Ctrl group. Overall, competency at the mid‐range level of laboratory skills was attained by most SEM‐Trt students (72.5%) but by only 30.5% of SEM‐Ctrl and 28.6% of NonSEM‐Trt students. Apparently, during the semester students in the SEM‐Trt group were able to use the inquiry‐based method effectively to combine chemical tasks with writing tasks and postlaboratory discussions. One implication of this study for science instructors is that practical examinations can provide useful feedback regarding the quality of the laboratory experience. Another implication is that this study provides evidence for the use of the innovative inquiry‐based laboratory approach to support student learning of high‐level investigative skills. However, students' requisite background knowledge must match the level of these skills. 相似文献

Recently we reported a novel “roaming” dissociation pathway of formaldehyde in which one of the H atoms strays far from the minimum energy reaction path, explores a broad region of the potential energy surface, then abstracts the remaining H atom to form molecular products, without going near the configuration of the conventional transition state saddle point. The detailed dynamics of the abstraction mechanism and its energy dependence have already been reported. Here, with a combination of experimental and theoretical results, we examine the roaming behavior at the energetic extremes. We show evidence of roaming below the threshold of the radical dissociation channel and consider the implications of this and the possible existence of a transition state for the roaming mechanism. We also show the occurrence of roaming up to 3200 cm−1 above the threshold of the triplet dissociation channel. In addition, we present results affording deeper insight into the dynamics of the roaming mechanism: we show evidence of roaming leading to CO in v = 1, and examine the issue of nuclear spin conservation during dissociation via the roaming mechanism. 相似文献

The low sensitivity of nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) of powders is due, in part, to the inability to efficiently excite and detect nuclei at all crystal orientations. Here we describe the use of circularly polarized RF magnetic fields for excitation followed by detection of the resultant circular RF magnetization in I=1 NQR to increase the fraction of nuclei excited and detected. We show that the technique can greatly improve the effective RF field homogeneity and increase the largest signal amplitude by a factor of 1.72. In favorable cases, the resulting circularly polarized NQR signal can be separated from linearly polarized magnetoacoustic and piezoelectric ringing artifacts that occur in some NQR materials detection applications. 相似文献

We present the full quantum mechanical theory of the angular momentum distributions of photofragments produced in photolysis of oriented/aligned parent polyatomic molecules beyond the axial recoil limit. This paper generalizes the results of Underwood and Powis(28,29) to the case of non-axial recoil photodissociation of an arbitrary polyatomic molecule. The spherical tensor approach is used throughout this paper. We show that the recoil angular distribution of the angular momentum polarization of each of the photofragments can be presented in a universal spherical tensor form valid for photolysis in diatomic or polyatomic molecules, irrespective of the reaction mechanism. The angular distribution can be written as an expansion over the Wigner D-functions in terms of the set of the anisotropy-transforming coefficients c(K(i)q(i))(K) (k(d), K(0)) which contain all of the information about the photodissociation dynamics and can be either determined from experiment, or computed from quantum mechanical theory. An important new conservation rule is revealed through the analysis, namely that the component q(i) of the initial reagent polarization rank K(i) and the photofragment polarization rank K onto the photofragment recoil direction k is preserved in any photolysis reaction. Both laboratory and body frame expressions for the recoil angle dependence of the photofragment angular momentum polarization are presented. The parent molecule polarization is shown to lead to new terms in the obtained photofragment angular distributions compared with the isotropic case. In particular, the terms with |q(i)| > 2 can appear which are shown to manifest angular momentum helicity non-conservation in the reaction. The expressions for the coefficients c(K(i)q(i))(K) (k(d), K(0)) have been simplified using the quasiclassical approximation in the high-J limit which allows for introducing the dynamical functions and the rotation factors which describe the decreasing of the photofragment angular momentum orientation and alignment due to the rotation of the molecular axis during photodissociation. In this case, the resultant recoil angle dependence is also presented in a form where the anisotropy of the parent molecular ensemble is expressed in terms of the molecular axis distribution, rather than in terms of the molecular density matrix. 相似文献

We report the primary (D-atom) and secondary (H-atom) abstraction dynamics of chlorine atom reaction with butane-1,1,1,4,4,4-d(6). The H- and D-atom abstraction channels were studied over a range of collision energies: 10.4 kcal mol(-1) and 12.9 kcal mol(-1); 5.2 kcal mol(-1) to 12.8 kcal mol(-1), respectively, using crossed molecular beam dc slice ion imaging techniques. Single photon ionization at 157 nm was used to probe the butyl radical products resulting from the H- and D-atom abstraction reactions. These two channels manifest distinct dynamics principally in the translational energy distributions, while the angular distributions are remarkably similar. The reduced translational energy distribution for the primary abstraction showed marked variation with collision energy in the backward direction, while the secondary abstraction showed this variation in the forward direction. 相似文献

The crystal structure and magnetic properties have been determined for a new series of compounds of the form Rh2TSn. For T = Mn, Ni, or Cu, the room temperature structure is the fully ordered cubic Heusler structure. For T = V, Cr, Fe, or Co, a new structure is observed which is an exceptionally large tetragonal distortion of the Heusler structure (c/a = 1.18?1.27). The appearance of this tetragonal distortion is attributed to an electronic instability of the band Jahn-Teller type. 相似文献

Photofragment translational energy and angular distributions are reported for the photodissociation of acetaldehyde cations in the wavelength range 354-363 nm obtained using the DC slice ion imaging technique. Vibrationally selected parent ions were produced by 2+1 resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) via the 3s<--n Rydberg transition, with photodissociation resulting from absorption of a fourth additional photon. Three product channels were observed: HCO+, CH3CO+, and CH4+. The angular distributions reveal that all product channels have a predominantly parallel recoil anisotropy although the lower beta2 parameter of CH3CO+ indicates the concomitant presence of a perpendicular component. Furthermore, the distinct angular distribution of the CH3CO+ fragments shows a large value of the higher order Legendre polynomial term, providing evidence that acetaldehyde cations are spatially aligned during the ionization process. 相似文献

We demonstrate a two-color reduced-Doppler probe for ion imaging that, in many applications, offers advantages over conventional 2+1 resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization detection. Using counterpropagating beams of two different colors, one of which is broadband 266 nm, we achieve convenient and sensitive D atom detection without the need for Doppler scanning. We demonstrate the approach using 224 nm photodissociation of DBr. This method improves the sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio and presents advantages and opportunities for use in the other systems. 相似文献

We demonstrate a hybrid Doppler-free/Doppler-sliced ion imaging approach that is well-suited for detection of H or D atoms. The method relies on 2 + 1 resonant ionization with identical, nearly counterpropagating beams that are coplanar but directed at a small angle relative to the detector face. This results in Doppler selection of the velocity component along the time of flight axis but Doppler-free detection in the plane perpendicular to this axis. The results show high signal level and excellent slicing ( approximately 5%), yielding velocity resolution completely determined by cation recoil in the ionization step. 相似文献
