Concept explainers
Interpretation:
For distinguishing the pairs (a), (c), (d), (e), (g), and (i) given in problem 2.46, the key IR absorption bands are to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Infrared spectroscopy is a simple, instrumental technique, which helps to determine the presence of various functional groups.
It depends on the interactions of atoms or molecules with the
The molecules that have dipole moment are IR active and the molecules that do not have dipole moment are IR inactive.
The IR absorption frequency of an alcohol group lies in the range of
For
For
In IR spectrum, for carboxylic acids, both carbonyl and hydroxyl stretching absorption is present.
The IR absorption frequency for the hydroxyl group of carboxylic acid extends from
The IR absorption frequency of secondary amine lies in the range of
The higher the ring strain, the higher will be the stretching frequency.

- Which statement best describes the following pair of compounds? C4H6 and C6H12 A.) Circulated functional groups do not show absorption in the infrared spectrum because they have the same mass B.) The reduced mass of both compounds is the same so they do not absorb IR (infrared) energy. C.) The functional group specified in both compounds does not undergo changes in the dipole moment due to symmetry D.) Both represent an absorption band around 2000 cm ^ -1arrow_forwardPlease give me answer. Don't copy.arrow_forwardGive correct answerarrow_forward
