Chapter 12.SE, Problem 32AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The spectrum of cyclohexane and cyclohexene has to be identified and explained.

Concept introduction:

Spectroscopy: It is study of the interaction of matter and electromagnetic radiation, a continuum of different types of electromagnetic radiation each associated with a particular energy range makes up the electromagnetic spectrum.

IR frequency (cm^-1): It is the number of wave crests that pass by a given point in one second frequency has units of hertz (Hz).

Stretch vibrations: It is a vibration occurring along the line of the bond a stretching vibration changes the bond length.

Bending vibrations: It is a vibration that does not occur along the line of the bond, bending vibration changes the bond angle.
