Definitions:

Characteristic IR Stretches

Characteristic Infrared (IR) Stretches are specific absorption bands in IR spectroscopy that correspond to the vibrations of molecular bonds, helping to identify functional groups within a molecule.

C≡C Stretch

A vibrational mode observed in infrared spectroscopy, characteristic of the stretching of a carbon-carbon triple bond.

C=C Stretching

A vibrational movement in infrared spectroscopy, where the carbon-carbon double bond length changes, useful in identifying unsaturated compounds.

Wavenumber

The reciprocal of the wavelength of a wave, often used in spectroscopy to describe the energy levels of molecules.
