C=O and C=C bands are in the same region but are not very difficult to tell apart.
a. Which band is more intense, the C=O or C=C?
b. Why is it more intense?
c. what other band could be used to confirm the presence of a C=C bond?
C=O band is more intense than C=C bond. These bands diagnostic markers for the presence of carbonyl group in a sample. Because C=O bond is more polar than C=C bond. Always in IR stronger dipoles (C=O) produce more intense IR bands and weaker dipoles produce less intense IR bands (C=C).
c. what other band could be used to confirm the presence of a C=C bond?
C-H stretching from C=C-H will tell the presence of olefine group. =C–H stretch from 3100-3000 cm-1 will appear. This band will appear as intense band
