The number of modes for IR can be calculated by calculating the degrees of freedom using the formula 3N-6 for non-linear molecules and 3n-5 for linear molecules where N is the number of atoms. Using character tables and group theory we can better understand what atoms and vibrations correspond to the degrees of freedom calculated. ................
