- Why do aldehydes, esters, and amides all have a strong absorption in the 1630-1780 cm1 region of their IR spectra? A) The bond between H and the sp³-hybridized C in these functional groups vibrates in this energy range. B) Each of these functional groups has at least two resonance structures, and the different vibrations of the resonance structures give off energy in this region. C) The bond between O and the sp²-hybridized C in these functional groups vibrates at a frequency in this energy range. D) Light at this wavenumber causes the average C to O bond length to increase which causes more of this light to be transmitted.
