Question
____ measures absorption of infrared light, which causes molecular vibration such as stretching, bending, twisting, and folding.
Answer
Infrared spectroscopy measures absorption of infrared light, which causes molecular vibration such as stretching, bending, twisting, and folding.
Based on this it is possible to determine the functional groups that make up the molecule
Plotted as % transmittance vs. wavenumber (\(\frac{1}{λ}\))
