Explain ftir

Accepted Answer

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) is a technique used to identify chemical compounds by analyzing the absorption of infrared radiation. The infrared spectrum of a compound is a plot of the intensity of absorption versus the wavelength or wavenumber of the infrared radiation. Each functional group in a molecule has a characteristic absorption frequency, so the FTIR spectrum of a compound can be used to determine the functional groups present in the molecule.
