Flashcards

Infrared Spectroscopy (IR)

A technique used to identify and analyze molecules by measuring the absorption of infrared radiation.

IR radiation sources

Radiation sources that emit infrared light, used to illuminate samples in IR spectroscopy.

Sample preparation techniques

Preparing the sample in a suitable form for IR analysis, depending on the state of matter (solid, liquid, or gas).

Functional group identification

Different functional groups (like C=O or O-H) absorb unique wavelengths of IR radiation based on their vibrational movements.
