Question

WHAT IS CHROMOPHORE ??GIVE AN EXAMPLE​

Answer 1

A chromophore is the part of a molecule responsible for its color. The chromophore is a region in the molecule where the energy difference between two separate molecular orbitals falls within the range of the visible spectrum. For example- Nitro group is a chromophore because its presence in a compound gives yellow color to the compound.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Common examples include retinal (used in the eye to detect light), various food colorings, fabric dyes (azo compounds), pH indicators, lycopene, β-carotene, and anthocyanins. Various factors in a chromophore's structure go into determining at what wavelength region in a spectrum the chromophore will absorb.
