Chapter 10.15, Problem 24P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Compound having molecular formula $C_4{H}_{6}O$ has to be identified from the given infrared spectrum.

Concept introduction:

IR spectral studies: It is a spectroscopic technique which is used to determine the functional groups present in the given compound sample by absorbing characteristic frequency in particular range with respect to the group present in the given sample.

Wavenumber: It is defined as the number of waves in one centimeter. The wavenumber indicates the location of each signal with respect to the functional group in the molecule and its unit is ${\text{cm}}^{\text{-1}}$.
