Which of the following bonds gives rise to a strong absorbance near 1700 cm^-1 in the infrared spectrum? A) C=O B) C-O C) C=C D) C-C

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The C=O bond gives rise to a strong absorbance near 1700 cm^-1 in the infrared spectrum. This is due to the stretching of the carbonyl group, which involves a large change in dipole moment and leads to strong absorption in the infrared region. The other bonds listed (C-O, C=C, and C-C) do not exhibit strong absorbance near 1700 cm^-1 in the infrared spectrum.
