Which of the following most closely matches the C C stretching frequency?
A) 3300 cm-1
B) 2950 cm-1
C) 2200 cm-1
D) 1600 cm-1
E) 1200 cm-1
C=C Stretching Frequency
Refers to the frequency at which the carbon-carbon double bonds in a molecule vibrate, typically observed in infrared spectroscopy.
IR Absorption
The absorption of infrared radiation by molecules, leading to changes in vibrational energy levels, used in spectroscopy to identify functional groups.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The C molecule is most likely a nitrile functional group, which has a C triple bond N group. The C-N stretching frequency for nitriles is typically around 2200-2260 cm-1, so choice C is the closest option. Choices A and B are too high for a C-H stretching frequency and choice D is too low for a C triple bond N stretching frequency. Choice E is not related to stretching frequencies for functional groups.
