Week14 Draft1

There are four components of NMRs to consider when determining the structure of a compound. In H-NMR, the four components are number of signals, relative areas of the signals, position of shifts, and multiplicity of signals. The number of signals indicates the number of different hydrogen environments in a molecule while the relative areas of the signals indicate the number of hydrogen in each of those environments. The position of the shifts indicate the different functional groups within the molecules. Lastly, the multiplicity of the signals indicate the number of neighboring hydrogens each hydrogen in the molecule has.
