INTRODUCTION TO FORENSIC CHEMISTRY

IDENTIFICATION
1. The application of science to those criminal and civil laws that are
enforced by police agencies in a criminal justice system.

2. He is the Father of Forensic Toxicology.

3. He is the Father of Criminal Detection.

4. He conducted the first definitive study of fingerprints and their

classification.

5. Primarily involves the identification and examination of skeletal

remains, in order to determine if the remains are human or another
type of animal.

6. The cause of death can often be determined by performing an

autopsy.

7. The study of human behavior and legal proceedings in both civil and
criminal cases

8. An odontologist can match bite marks to a suspect's teeth, or match

a victim to his dental x-rays

9. Used to analyze construction accidents, and the causes and origins of

fires or explosions

10. The study of insects and their developmental stages

TEST METHODS

IDENTIFICATION
1. This test method is based on the principle that all substances
carry an electrical charge by virtue of the electrons that are
continually spinning in their orbits around the nucleus.
2. It works on the principle that substances absorb and transmit
light selectively
3. Substances differ in their relative weights and sizes. This
allow substances to be separated into their components
4. This method combines the principle of separation and
absorption of light.
5. The principle behind this test method is the fact that excited
atoms exhibit a spectra of electrons that can be detected by an
instrument.

SAMPLING AND HANDLING TECHNIQUES

I. MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE. Write TRUE if the

statement is correct and if not, CHANGE THE
UNDERLINED WORD with the appropriate word to make
it correct.

1. Semen is body fluids that are associated with crimes

against persons especially murder.

2. Fresh semen must be observed with 30% formalin so

that its value is preserved.

3. Sweat is the easiest to tamper with among body fluids.

4. Fresh fingerprints left at the crime of the scene and

which can be accessed by lifting using kits provided for
said purpose.

5. Forensic chemists usually perform their analytical work

in a sterile laboratory decreasing the risk of sample
contamination

II. MULTIPLE CHOICES

6. Specimen collected at the crime scene MUST be kept in

an appropriate container. Appropriate container means it
must
 a. protect specimen from outside elements
b. be able to preserve the value of the specimen
c. ensure no danger to the public
d. All of the above

7. As police investigator, one must maintain the

individuality of samples collected at the crime scene. This
means that
a. specimens must be properly labeled for proper
identification
b. all specimens that are similar should be placed in a
single container
c. police investigator must make notes on his notepad
on the identity of the evidence
d. each evidence is kept in separate appropriate
container

8. Proper storage of evidence is done to ensure that

a. there is no tampering
b. evidence is preserved and does not disintegrate
c. it is of value in court when the case is litigated
d. all of the above

9. A very common occurrence at a crime scene are blood

spatters. When investigators encounter this kind of
evidence, they must
a. when feasible, request the assistance of a forensic
chemist to perform the collection of evidence from the
crime scene
 b. observe proper technique in packaging, labeling and
securing of evidence to ensure its value when
presented in court
c. collect sufficient sample for laboratory testing
d. all of the above

10. When collecting fingerprint samples, a very good

practice is to EXCEPT:
a. protect impressions from deterioration
b. wait for the rest of the team to finish their work before
fingerprint lifting is performed
c. collect comparison standards from both suspect and
victim
d. wear surgical gloves at all times
