True or False 1. A strong signal in infrared spectroscopy indicates that a molecule matches the emitted electromagnetic radiation and reports a high transmittance. 2. Among all the possible vibrational modes, symmetric stretching will be IR inactive. 3. A hygroscopic organic sample to be subjected to IR does not need to be kept dry because water molecules in the air will not affect the IR spectra.
