(5 cards)
1
Q
What is the wavenumber?
A
Ranges of IR which the bonds absorb
2
Q
Define percentage transmittance
A
How much of a particular frequency gets though the compound
3
Q
How to calculate wave number?
A
Wavenumber = 1 / wavelength (cm)
4
Q
What do the energies in infra-red radiation correspond to?
A
Energies in infra-red radiation correspond to the energies involved in bond vibrations
5
Q
How to kick a bond into a higher state of vibration?
A
By shining exactly the right amount of energy on the bond
You can kick it into a higher state of vibration
