• Resumen

  • The IR spectrum of the ammonia inversion vibration-rotation normal mode is obtained using Fourier Transform IR Spectroscopy and analyzed using Maple, to easily obatin the relation between the N-H bond length and the H-N-H bond angle. As expected, the absolute geometry of the ammonia molecule cannot be determined completely with information gleaned from this vibrational transition.
