Experimental determination of structure using NMR and infrared Flashcards
1
Q
what can be said about the frequency of the vibrations in relation to the mass of the atoms?
A
the greater the mass of the atoms, the lower the frequency of the vibrations
2
Q
in what case will the frequency of the vibrations be higher?
A
when the bond is stronger
3
Q
what happens to an organic molecule when it absorbs infrared radiation?
A
causes parts of the molecule to vibrate but not to break
4
Q
how can molecules vibrate?
A
by bending or stretching
5
Q
