### IR Spectrum Analysis

The diagram above depicts an Infrared (IR) spectrum, which is a graph that illustrates the IR absorbance (or transmittance) of a sample as a function of wavelength (expressed as wavenumber, cm⁻¹). This specific spectrum ranges from approximately 4000 cm⁻¹ to 500 cm⁻¹.

#### Key Features:

- **Transmittance (% T):** This y-axis measures how much of the IR radiation passes through the sample compared to a reference. 100% transmittance means no absorbance, and 0% means complete absorbance.
- **Wavenumber (cm⁻¹):** The x-axis represents the wavenumber of the IR radiation, which is inversely related to the wavelength. Higher wavenumbers correspond to higher energies and shorter wavelengths.

#### Identified Compounds:

At the top of the spectrum, several chemical structures are shown, indicating potential compounds analyzed:

1. **Cyclobutanol:** An alcohol with a cyclobutane ring.
2. **2-Butanone:** A ketone with the formula CH₃-CH₂-CO-CH₃.
3. **Ethyl Vinyl Ether:** An ether with the structural formula C₂H₅-O-CH=CH₂.
4. **2-Methyl-2-propen-1-ol:** An alcohol with a double bond in its structure.
5. **2-Methylpropanal:** An aldehyde compound with the formula (CH₃)₂CH-CH=O.

#### Analyzing the Spectrum:

- **O–H Stretching (Alcohols):** Broad absorption around 3200-3550 cm⁻¹ indicates the presence of an alcohol.
- **C=O Stretching (Ketones, Aldehydes):** Strong sharp absorption in the region of 1700-1750 cm⁻¹ typically denotes the carbonyl group.
- **C–H Stretching:** Absorptions around 2850-2960 cm⁻¹ can be attributed to the C–H stretches in alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes.
- **C=C Stretching:** Absorptions around 1600-1680 cm⁻¹ are characteristic of alkenes.
- **C–O Stretching (Ethers):** Absorption approximately in the range 1000-1300 cm
