Forensic Chemistry 1
________________ measures the quantity of radiation that a particular material absorbs as a function of wavelength and frequency.
Spectrophotometry
The manner in which the cause of death arose is referred to as __________ of death.
Manner
With an intermediate range gunshot wound, __________ would likely be present.
Tattooing
Iodine fuming, Ninhydrin, Superglue fuming are effective methods to identify fingerprints from _______ surfaces.
Porous
The examination of a body after death (i.e., a postmortem examination) is referred to as a/an:
Autopsy
________ __________ uses a beam of high-energy electrons to collide with a material, producing positively charged ions. These positive ions almost instantaneously decompose into numerous fragments, which are separated according to their masses.
Mass spectrometry
Homicide, Suicide, Natural, Accidental, and Undetermined are the:
5 manners of death
________ range gunshot wounds are usually characterized by the presence of a surface contaminant known as soot.
Close
___________ wounds are made with a sharp edged instrument (knife, razor), often found on the face, neck, arms, legs, and are typically narrow at the edges and gaping at the center.
Incised
The autopsy consists of 2 examinations which are the:
External and internal examinations
_____________ is a means of separating and tentatively identifying the components of a mixture.
Chromatography
The time between death and finding the body is called the:
Post-mortem interval
_________ gunshot wounds occur when the barrel of the gun is in actual contact with the clothing or skin of the victim.
Contact
With regard to stab wounds and puncture wounds, _______ usually occurs as result of severe damage to internal organs, internal bleeding, shock, or secondary infections.
Death
The ___________ examination consists of a broad overview of the condition of the body and the clothing, classifying the injuries, and distinguishing between different types of wounds.
External
The 3 types of chromatography are:
Gas, liquid, thin-layer
Distant or indeterminate range, Intermediate or medium range, Close range, and Contact are categories of:
Gunshot wounds
Arsenic, Cyanide, Antimony, Ethylene Glycol (anti-freeze) are common toxins found in:
Homicide
___________ are caused by blunt force trauma and is usually open and irregular in shape, bleeds freely and is accompanied by bruising around the edges.
Lacerations
The __________ examination consists of the dissection of the body and involves weighing, dissecting, and sectioning each organ of the body.
Internal examination
The injury, disease, or combination of the two that initiated the fatal train of physiologic disturbances resulting in death is referred to as __________ of death.
Cause
A _________ gunshot wound results when the weapon is discharged at such a distance that only the bullet makes contact with the victim’s skin.
Distant
A common method for restoring obliterated serial numbers on firearms is:
Chemical etching
A horizontal ligature furrow observed on the victim would likely indicate:
Homicide
Recovered bullets from the body, Victim’s clothing, Fingernail scrapings, Swabs of body areas suspected of being in contact with DNA are items that should be recovered during the:
Autopsy
