Expert Solution
Step 1 Introduction

IR spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique used to identify functional groups & determine the molecular structure of a compound.

The IR spectrum provides information about the vibrational modes of the molecular bonds, & the peaks in the spectrum correspond to specific bond vibrations. We can deduce the functional groups present in a molecule, & use this information to draw the structure of the molecule.
