Questions about the Spectroscopy poster

What’s on the Spectroscopy poster?
A 5-row table: Technique · Shows. What each technique reveals. Mass spectrometry — Molecular mass; fragmentation pattern; Infrared — Functional groups from absorption bands; ¹H NMR — Hydrogen environments, ratios and neighbours; ¹³C NMR — Carbon environments; Combined — Full structure determination. IR key bands: O-H acid 2500–3300 broad, C=O 1680–1750 sharp, O-H alcohol 3230–3550. Those three answer most questions.
Who is the Spectroscopy poster for?
Spectroscopy belongs to the Chemistry section rather than to a school year, because physical science is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning organic can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Spectroscopy poster?
Mass spec gives the mass. IR gives the groups. NMR gives the skeleton. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Spectroscopy belongs on the wall where that physical science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with Spectroscopy?
Alcohols, Alkanes and Alkenes sit alongside Spectroscopy in the Chemistry section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.AlcoholsAlkanesAlkenes
Is the Spectroscopy poster free to download and print?
Yes. Spectroscopy downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Chemistry section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
What size does the Spectroscopy poster print at?
Spectroscopy is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Spectroscopy loses nothing.Printing guide
