Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the context of IR spectroscopy, what does the term 'fingerprint region' refer to?
  • Step 1: Understand that IR spectroscopy is a technique used to identify compounds based on how they absorb infrared light.
  • Step 2: Know that different compounds absorb light at different wavelengths, creating a unique pattern.
  • Step 3: The 'fingerprint region' is a specific part of the IR spectrum.
  • Step 4: This region is between 400 and 1500 cm-1.
  • Step 5: In this region, many unique absorption bands appear, which can help identify specific compounds.
  • Step 6: Think of the fingerprint region like a unique signature for each compound.
