Metals have the ability to shield external electric field, therefore when laser light used for excitation in Raman spectroscopy falls on the metal surface, it cannot penetrate very deeply.
Also, noble metals have crystal structures with only one atom per unit cell, therefore only acoustic phonons exist, and no optic phonons that could be detected with Raman. Exceptioon is gallium - see ref.

The family that contains the most inactive metals is the Alkali Metal family (Group 1) of the periodic table. These metals are highly reactive and easily lose their outermost electron to form a positive ion.
Gold is considered one of the least active metals because it is resistant to corrosion and does not readily react with other substances at room temperature. It is often found in its pure form in nature due to its stability and lack of reactivity.
The element that fits this description is neon (Ne). Neon is a noble gas, which are generally referred to as inactive non-metals because they have a full outer electron shell and do not readily participate in chemical reactions.
Raman spectroscopy measures the scattering of light, while FTIR spectroscopy measures the absorption of infrared light. Raman spectroscopy is better for analyzing crystalline materials, while FTIR is more suitable for identifying functional groups in organic compounds. Additionally, Raman spectroscopy is less sensitive to water interference compared to FTIR spectroscopy.
An active metal is a type of a metal that tends to react with toughness, and speed, to other elements because of the arrangement of electrons in its structure. Each active metal has a single electron in its outer shell.
Yes, Raman spectroscopy can be performed on metals and alloys to provide information about their molecular vibrations, crystalline structure, and chemical composition. However, since metals and alloys exhibit strong fluorescence and may not produce strong Raman signals, specialized techniques and equipment may be required to overcome these challenges.
The family that contains the most inactive metals is the Alkali Metal family (Group 1) of the periodic table. These metals are highly reactive and easily lose their outermost electron to form a positive ion.
K is potassium. Na is sodium. They are both akali metals which react violently with water. I actually did a project on potassium. I sadly actually don't know what inactive and active means.
Several variations of Raman spectroscopy have been developed.· Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS)· Resonance Raman spectroscopy· Surface-Enhanced Resonance Raman Spectroscopy (SERRS)· Angle Resolved Raman Spectroscopy· Hyper Raman· Spontaneous Raman Spectroscopy (SRS)· Optical Tweezers Raman Spectroscopy (OTRS)· Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy· Spatially Offset Raman Spectroscopy (SORS)· Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS)· Raman optical activity (ROA)· Transmission Raman· Inverse Raman spectroscopy.· Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS)· Surface plasmon polaritons enhanced Raman scattering (SPPERS)
Inactive metals include the platinum group, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum which are found in groups 8-10 periods 5-6. The coinage metals, copper silver gold in group 11. Mercury in group 12. Some other metals are inert because they are passivated by a layer of oxide on the surface, e.g. aluminium and titanium.
