Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of molecular vibrations can FTIR spectroscopy detect?
  • Step 1: Understand that molecules are made of atoms connected by bonds.
  • Step 2: Know that these bonds can move in different ways, like stretching or bending.
  • Step 3: Recognize that FTIR spectroscopy is a technique used to study these movements.
  • Step 4: Realize that FTIR detects the vibrations of the bonds when they stretch or bend.
