Answer #1

For a mode to be observed in the IR spectrum, changes must occur in the permanent dipole (i.e. not diatomic molecules)

Raman spectroscopy depends on a change in polarizability of a molecule, whereas IR spectroscopy depends on a change in the dipole moment. ... Raman on the other hand is sensitive to homo-nuclear molecular bonds. For example, it candistinguish between C-C, C=C and C≡C bonds.
