Unlike other functional groups, ethers often show an absorption in the fingerprint region of the IR spectrum between ________.

A) 600-800 cm-1
B) 1000-1200 cm-1
C) 1600 cm-1
D) 3400 cm-1

Fingerprint Region

The area of an infrared (IR) spectrum, typically between 600 to 1400 cm-1, where unique absorption patterns can be used to identify specific compounds.

IR Spectrum

A graphical representation of a material’s infrared light absorption at different wavelengths, often used in chemical analysis.

  • Understand the specific absorption patterns of ethers in IR (Infrared) spectroscopy and their implications for structural analysis.
