True or False: The strength of a bond is directly proportional to the frequency, expressed in wavenumbers, of the stretching vibration of that bond in the IR spectrum for the compound.
False. The strength of a bond is not directly proportional to the frequency of the stretching vibration. The frequency of the stretching vibration is determined by the strength of the bond, the masses of the atoms involved, and other factors. However, the frequency can provide information about the bond, such as its nature (single, double, or triple bond) and its environment.
