question
NMR is based on
answer
nuclei magnetic moments that can either align with the field or against the magnetic field.
question
what does the alpha state refer to?
answer

nuclei whose mag moments align with the field.

 

(alpha= align)

question
what does the beta state refer to?
answer

nuclei whose mag moments align against  the field.

 

 

question
alpha vs beta state who has higher energy
answer
beta state
question

nmr uses a variable of measurment called______

with units called _____

answer

chemical shifts (?)

units:  parts per million (ppm)

question

the chemical shift increases in what direction ,

 

this is called ____ field

answer

to the left

 

(called downfield)

question

NMR usually is on what nuclei (2)

 

does  12C  have magnetic moments?

answer

1H & 13 C

 

12 C (does not have magnetic moments)

question
what does it mean when it says the proton that is being deshielded?
answer

dieshieled means:

the proton is next to an electronegative atom (which is pulling electron density from the proton) thus deshielding it from its own electron cloud)

question
protons that are being deshielded would appear more to the left or right?
answer

more to the left.

(aka more downfield)

question

H-Cl vs H-NH2

would one would appear more to left

include why

answer

H-Cl : more on the LEFT b/c Cl is electrongetive & e- WITHDRAWING

= proton dishielded

 

H-NH2: NH2 is an e-donating group

and thus shields the proton

 

question
when does splitting or coupling occur?
answer
when 2 protons  that are in close proximity but are NOT magentically identical.
question

CH3 -O- CHCl2

would peak would be taller?

answer

CH3 peak

b/c they are more of these type of protons

 

(CHCl2 just has 1 proton)

question
formula for determining multiplets
answer

n+1

 

n= of H that are 3 bonds away

question
area of each peak is determined by
answer
ratio of protons producing each peak
question
any more than 4 peaks is called
answer
multiplet
question
give the range for R-CH3 protons
answer

about 0.9

 

(most shielded)

question
give the range for alkyl (triple bond) protons
answer
1-3 ppm
question
give the range for alkene (double bond) protons
answer
4-7 ppm
question
give the range for aldehydes (double bond) protons
answer
9 to 10 ppm
question
give the range for carboxylic acid (double bond) protons
answer

10 to 12

 

most deshielded

question
give NMR shift for aromatic protons
answer
6-8.5 ppm
question
give NMR shift for alcohol protons
answer
3-5 ppm
question
give NMR range for vinylic
answer
5.5 ppm
