Use no more than three sentences to describe how the IR spectra can be used to positively identify the compound present in the solid.
IR spectra is useful for finding out what kinds of bonds are present in a molecule, and knowing what kinds of bonds are present is a good start towards knowing what the structure could be. Nujol mull technique may be applied for crystalline compounds (including complexes) in solid state & may reserve the pellet technique for remaining solid samples.
Use above figure point other wise for broader explanation related to structure detarmination.
