easy · MCAT chem-phys
An organic chemist observes a strong, broad absorption peak centered at 3300 cm^-1 in an infrared (IR) spectrum.
This signal most likely indicates the presence of which functional group?
- Alkane (C-H group)
- Alcohol (hydroxyl group)
- Nitrile (C ≡ N group)
- Ketone (carbonyl group)
