NMR Questions

This document provides questions and topics related to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It asks about the magnetic properties of nuclei used for NMR, the principle of NMR spectroscopy, and definitions of terms like equivalent/non-equivalent protons, diastereotopic/enantiotopic protons, chemical shift, coupling constant, shielding/deshielding, vicinal/germinal coupling, and applications of NMR including distinguishing structural isomers. It also provides longer explanations as answers to questions about specific NMR topics and the use of NMR data to determine organic compound structures.
