What to Focus On

  • Dyes are colored organic compounds that bind permanently to materials.
  • Chromophores are color-producing groups like –N=N–, –NO₂.
  • Auxochromes like –OH and –NH₂ deepen color and help attachment.

  • Dyes are classified by structure (e.g., azo, anthraquinone) and application method.
  • Acid dyes work on wool; basic dyes on cotton; reactive dyes form strong bonds.
  • Vat dyes like indigo are reduced before use and oxidized after dyeing.

  • Pigments are insoluble and provide color and protection in paints and inks.
  • White pigments include TiO₂, ZnO, and white lead.
  • Colored pigments vary by metal composition and are used for specific colors.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
