Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

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