They produce color independently of chromophores.

They determine the chemical structure of chromophores.

They serve as the main source of color in compounds.

Which of the following is NOT an example of a chromophore?

Amino groups (correct)

Nitro rings

Carbon-carbon double bonds

Which statement accurately describes chromophores?

They rely solely on auxochromes to exhibit color.

They require elimination of hydrogen to show color.

Study Notes

Chromophores

Chromophores are the molecules primarily responsible for color in a compound.
Examples of chromophores include carbon-carbon double bonds, carbon-nitrogen double bonds, carbonyl, azo, nitro, methine, and quinoid rings.

Auxochromes

Auxochromes are groups of atoms attached to a chromophore that intensify a compound's color.
They do not produce color by themselves; instead, they alter the chromophore's light absorption properties.
Examples of auxochromes include hydroxyl, amino, aldehyde, and methyl mercaptan groups.
