Question
In Figure B9.2, p. 358, the peak labeled CNC stretch occurs at a shorter wavelength than that labeled CC stretch, as it does in the IR spectrum of any substance with those bonds. Explain the relative positions of these peaks. In what relative position along the wavelength scale of Figure B9.2 would you expect to find a peak for a CPC stretch? Explain.
Solution
The first step in solving 9 problem number 42 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In Figure B9.2, p. 358, the peak labeled CNC stretch occurs at a shorter wavelength than that labeled CC stretch, as it does in the IR spectrum of any substance with those bonds. Explain the relative positions of these peaks. In what relative position along the wavelength scale of Figure B9.2 would you expect to find a peak for a CPC stretch? Explain.
From the textbook chapter Models of Chemical Bonding you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
