a.How many normal modes of vibration are anticipated in a molecule composed of 15 atoms (the molecule is NOT linear!).

b. Discrete absorption peaks associated with each expected fundamental vibrational mode are often not observed in practice. Identify and discuss at least two reasons why this could be the case.

1.) A certain molecule is a ring structure composed of six sp2 hybridized atoms. Describe the geometry of a molecule. A.) The six atoms form a hexagon with all internal bond angles equal to 120° B.) six atoms foreman octahedron with all internal bond angles equal to 90°. C.) we do not have sufficient information to predict all the bond angles D.) The six atoms will alternate between tetrahedral geometry and trigonal planer geometry with internal angles alternate between 120°...
