Structure 3. Classification of matter » Structure 3.2—Functional groups: Classification of organic compounds » Structure 3.2.10—Proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR) gives information on the different chemical environments of hydrogen atoms in a molecule. Interpret 1H NMR spectra to deduce the structures of organic molecules from the number of signals, the chemical shifts, and the relative areas under signals (integration traces).
