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.

What else can I help you with?
What family contains the most inactive metals?
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.
Least active metal?
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.
What element is inactive non metal?
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.
What are the key differences between Raman and FTIR spectroscopy techniques?
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.
What is the formula for determining wavelengths at which the the Stokes and anti-Stokes Raman lines would appear when wavenumber and wavelength of the laser are known?
The formula is: Wavelength of Stokes line = Wavelength of laser / (1 - wavenumber of Raman shift) Wavelength of anti-Stokes line = Wavelength of laser / (1 + wavenumber of Raman shift) Here, the wavenumber of the Raman shift is represented in reciprocal centimeters.
Can you perform raman spectroscopy on metals and alloys?
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.
What family contains the most inactive metals?
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.
Are metals Na and K inactive or active?
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.
Are there different types of raman spectroscopy?
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)
Where are the inactive metals located in the periodic table?
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.
