I need help interpreting this IR spectrum of cyclohexanone. I'm not looking for anything in general just a description and explanation of what can be observed
Analyzing Infrared Spectra
The electromagnetic radiation or frequency is classified into radio-waves, micro-waves, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. The infrared spectra emission refers to the portion between the visible and the microwave areas of electromagnetic spectrum. This spectral area is usually divided into three parts, near infrared (14,290 – 4000 cm-1), mid infrared (4000 – 400 cm-1), and far infrared (700 – 200 cm-1), respectively. The number set is the number of the wave (cm-1).

Interpretation of anisole using IR spectrum obtained from IR analysis.
IR Spectroscopy
Infrared (IR) or vibrational spectroscopy is a method used for analyzing the particle's vibratory transformations. This is one of the very popular spectroscopic approaches employed by inorganic as well as organic laboratories because it is helpful in evaluating and distinguishing the frameworks of the molecules. The infra-red spectroscopy process or procedure is carried out using a tool called an infrared spectrometer to obtain an infrared spectral (or spectrophotometer).

![### Cyclohexanone Infrared Spectrum
This graph represents the infrared (IR) spectrum of cyclohexanone, a cyclic ketone. The IR spectrum is plotted with the transmittance (or absorbance) on the vertical axis and the wavenumbers (cm⁻¹) on the horizontal axis, typically ranging from 3500 to 600 cm⁻¹.
#### Key Features:
- **Broad Peak around 3400 cm⁻¹**: Often indicative of O-H stretching, this peak is not prominent as cyclohexanone does not have an O-H group.
- **Sharp Peak around 1715 cm⁻¹**: This corresponds to the C=O stretching vibration common in ketones.
- **Peaks around 2925 and 2850 cm⁻¹**: These are associated with C-H stretching vibrations in alkanes, typically seen in cyclohexane structures.
- **Multiple Peaks between 1500 and 600 cm⁻¹**: Known as the fingerprint region, these peaks are unique to cyclohexanone and represent various bending and stretching vibrations of the molecular framework.
This IR spectrum is essential for identifying cyclohexanone and studying its molecular structure.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F0a649de7-a7ff-4d39-839c-f05925276079%2F169bc082-97d3-42e7-b79a-ed1fbf3189b4%2Fbgsjuw_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
