The fluorescent group in a molecule is called as :

  • A.Photophore
  • B.Fluorophore
  • C.Chromophore
  • D.Quantum yield

Answer: B

The fluorescent group in a molecule is called a fluorophore.

A fluorophore is the part of a molecule that absorbs light of one wavelength and re-emits it at a longer wavelength. Fluorophores underlie fluorescent fingerprint powders, DNA dyes and fluorescence detectors.

A chromophore is the part of a molecule that absorbs light and gives colour, but need not fluoresce. Quantum yield is a measure of how efficiently a fluorophore emits light, not a group in the molecule, and 'photophore' is a light-emitting organ in some animals.
