A student has acquired an IR spectra of an unknown six-carbon molecule and has determined that it is either 2-hexyne, 1-
hexyne, or 1-hexene. How can the student use their knowledge of IR spectroscopy to determine the identity of the molecule? In
your answer, clearly specify what regions of the IR spectrum the student should look at and what bonds are responsible for the
absorption bands you indicate.

entire molecule. The wavelength of maximum absorption in
the UV-visible part of the spectrum in benzene is 255 nm.
Is the corresponding wavelength shorter or longer than
255 nm for naphthalene?
