Strong and Broad

Typically refers to the characteristic appearance of certain signals in spectroscopy, indicating a large distribution of energy levels or interactions.

IR Absorption

The process where a molecule absorbs infrared radiation, leading to vibrational transitions, used in spectroscopy to identify chemical compounds.

  • Fathom the interrelation between the structure of molecules and their IR spectral profiles.
  • Differentiate between compounds utilizing their IR absorption specifications.
