When combining different techniques, one can get a more complete picture of the molecule, which allows one to deduce the structure of a molecule. This chapter will discuss spectroscopy in general before moving into different spectroscopic techniques and the information you can gather from the technique.

If you do any reading on chemistry outside of the course materials, you will almost certainly see references to other spectroscopic techniques, such as Raman spectroscopy, electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, and atomic absorption (AA) spectroscopy.
