Select all that apply: When two atoms are bonded together, the distance between atoms is the same all the time. In the IR spectrum, carbonyl groups (C=O) have strong sharp peaks ranging from 1700 cm 1 to 1750 cm-1. When a molecule absorbs an IR radiation, electrons are excited within the molecule and each absorbed electron creates a band in the molecules IR spectrum.
