Spectroscopic Properties
IR spectroscopy measures the interaction of matter (your sample) with light, which causes vibrations in the covalent bonds of molecules, which can be interpreted to determine the compound. To take an IR in lab, you need to create a mixture of your sample with KBr and make a pellet, dissolve and place sample between 2 salt plates, or place your sample directly on the crystal.
