    Which one of the following is not a chromophore?

    A)  ?NO                                   

    B) ?N=N?

    C) \[N{{O}_{2}}\]                                  

    D) \[N{{H}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The intrinsic colour of the organic compound is due to the presence of certain functional groups containing multiple bond in their molecular structure called chromophore e.g., nitro \[(-N{{O}_{2}}),\]  nitroso \[(-N=O)\]  azo \[(-N=N-)\]etc. Auxochromes are functional groups which do not impart colour to the compound but intensify the colour of the compounds if  present along with the chromophores e.g., \[-OH,-N{{H}_{2}},-S{{O}_{3}}H,-COOH\]etc.
