WTF NMR?

<< < (2/2)

Collin Li:
NMR is simple. You don't need to understand how it works in much detail, you only need to be able to interpret the graph printouts. I studied NMR and IR in first year university, and they don't talk about the mechanics of it at all. I'm guessing that the theory delves into quantum theory that is too deep for VCE students.

It is hard to explain in words, but in order to make the task easier: proton NMR is the harder type - you have to deal with the normal graph printouts as well as the "high resolution" printouts that show splitting. Carbon-13 NMR is incredibly easy, it is just about counting the number of unique carbon atoms (which can be found out simply by drawing axes of symmetry).
