Chapter 12, Problem 12.14P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason as to why the IR spectra of some ethers have two $\text{C}-\text{O}$ stretching absorptions is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Infrared spectroscopy deals with the infrared region ranging from $4000{\text{cm}}^{-1}\text{to}670{\text{cm}}^{-1}$ of electromagnetic spectrum. It is measured in wavenumbers. It shows two types of sharp absorption bands in electromagnetic spectrum for functional groups. Each functional group absorbs at different frequency.
