Question

carbonyl compound absorb radiation in the infrared region

Answer 1

carbonyl compunds is a polar functional group that frequently is the most intense peak in spectrum.
and due stretching of vibration of C=o bond

Answer 2

Hey there,

● Explaination -
- Carbonyl functional group contains -C=O.
- Carbonyl compounds include aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, etc.
- Due to stretching vibration of carbonyl bond, these compounds absorb light in infrared region (1760-1665 /cm).
- Different carbonyl compounds absorb light at different wavelengths which can be used for diagnostic purposes.

Hope this helps you...
