Deformation vibration

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002921",
  "term": "Deformation vibration",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of molecular vibration where the bond angles within a molecule change, rather than the bond lengths. These vibrations involve the bending, wagging, rocking, or twisting motions of atoms around a central atom or bond. They are observed in infrared and Raman spectroscopy and contribute to the unique spectral fingerprint of a molecule.",
