        Depth of treatment
        Infra-red absorption spectrometry (IR) as a 'fingerprinting' technique involving absorption of infra-red radiation (reference to molecular vibrations not required).
        Brief reference to the principles of each method. Interpretation of spectra etc. not required. (It should be noted that these techniques are applicable not only to organic chemistry but also to many other areas of chemistry.)

        Infrared spectroscopy
        Infrared spectroscopy can be used to identify certain functional groups in an organic compound.
        Infrared radiation causes parts of a molecule to vibrate.
        The wavelengths which are absorbed to cause the vibrations (stretches and bends) will depend on the type of chemical bond and the groups or atoms at the ends of these bonds.
