QUESTION:

Rank each of the bonds identified in order of increasing wavenumber. O H O N H OH H R C N

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

General points for increasing the wavenumber are as follows:

1. X-H bonds have high wavenumbers due to Hooke's Law, with electronegativity also playing a role; bonds to with atoms that contain high electronegativity values usually have higher wavenumbers.

2. Strong bonds like alkynes and alkenes have wavenumbers of intermediate value, depending on the nature of the alkene; again, electronegativity plays a role.

3. Carbon-carbon or carbon-X single bonds usually have a low wavenumber.
