About Spectroscopy Simulator
Spectroscopy simulation teaches essential analytical chemistry skills by demonstrating how IR spectroscopy identifies functional groups through bond vibrations, and how mass spectrometry determines molecular weight through ionization and fragmentation patterns. Students learn to interpret characteristic peaks: O-H stretches around 3200-3600 cm⁻¹, C=O stretches around 1700-1750 cm⁻¹, and molecular ion peaks that reveal compound molecular weights.
These techniques are fundamental to modern chemical analysis, used in quality control for pharmaceuticals, forensic analysis, environmental monitoring, food safety testing, and organic synthesis research. Understanding spectral interpretation enables chemists to identify unknown compounds and verify structure-function relationships in complex molecules.
