Since Si-I has the largest reduced mass, we expect this bond to vibrate in the lowest frequency. Thus, the correct letter is E.
What is the stretching frequency of the CC bond?
Alkenes are compounds that have a carbon-carbon double bond, –C=C–. The stretching vibration of the C=C bond usually gives rise to a moderate band in the region 1680-1640 cm-1. Stretching vibrations of the –C=C–H bond are of higher frequency (higher wavenumber) than those of the –C–C–H bond in alkanes.
Which of the bonds shown in red are expected to have IR active stretching frequencies?
Generally, polar bonds show IR active stretching frequency.
What affects IR stretching frequency?
The presence of hydrogen bonding changes the position and shape of an infrared absorption band. Frequencies of both stretching as well as bending vibrations are changed because of hydrogen bonding. The X-H stretching bands move to lower frequency usually with increased intensity and band widening.
Does a stronger bond have a higher lower stretching frequency in the IR spectrum?
A higher force constant k means a stiffer "spring" (i.e. stronger bond). Therefore, a stronger bond has a higher IR frequency when comparing the same type of vibrational motion (e.g. symmetric stretch with symmetric stretch, asymmetric bend with asymmetric bend, etc).
What is the stretching frequency of CO?
The IR stretchin frequencies of free CO, and CO in [V(CO)6]−,[Cr(CO)6]− and [Mn(CO)6]− are 2143 cm−1,1860 cm−1,2000 cm−1 and 2090 cm−1, respectively.
