How To Approach IR Spectroscopy Material On The MCAT | MCAT Content

In this video, we will cover the core content you need to know about IR spectroscopy for the MCAT. The goal here is to understand the big picture concepts and utilize them effectively to answer questions rather than memorizing a ton of different IR spectroscopy stretches. Additionally, we will cover a couple of the key stretches the AAMC likes to test most often and as always answer a couple MCAT style questions to see how you can use this knowledge to score additional points on the MCAT.

Note: This is an error in the first question explanation at 1:37. The precursor molecule I referred to as an aldehyde is missing a hydrogen sticking off of its carbonyl group. This would make this a ketone instead of an aldehyde.
