A student has acquired an IR spectra of an unknown six-carbon molecule and has determined that it is either 2-hexyne, 1- hexyne, or 1-hexene. How can the student use their knowledge of IR spectroscopy to determine the identity of the molecule? In your answer, clearly specify what regions of the IR spectrum the student should look at and what bonds are responsible for the absorption bands you indicate.

What is the meaning of the term wavenumber, which is used in IR spectroscopy? OIt is the total number of wavelengths of IR radiation absorbed by the compound. It is the number of waves that pass through a particular point each second. It is another term for the energy of radiation. OIt is how many waves the IR light contains.
