Chapter 15, Problem 67IP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The carbon-oxygen bond that produces higher energy signal in IR spectrum should be determined.

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 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 ${\text{cm}}^{\text{-1}}$.

To explain: The carbon-oxygen bond that produces higher energy signal in IR spectrum.
