IMAGE COPYRIGHT Spectroscopy in a Suitcase!
"Did you know molecules dance?
The bonds that link atoms together can vibrate like springs, releasing energy.
You'll discover how chemists use infrared (IR) spectroscopy to identify compounds by measuring these vibrations. Each molecule absorbs infrared light at unique frequencies, and by recording this energy, you can build a picture of what the molecule looks like.
Join the Chemistry Outreach Team to run your own IR spectrum and identify our mystery powders!"
