NMR spectroscopy

Start with the basics

This NMR spectroscopy page brings together mind maps and flashcards made by GoConqr users. Start with the mind map titled NMR that introduces nuclear magnetic resonance and its requirements. It mentions a strong magnetic field and the use of proton and carbon NMR in organic chemistry. Use its branches to see how the ideas are organized.

Then look at the flashcard deck on NMR spectroscopy theory. Its cards include observable magnetic nuclei and the meaning of magnetic field strength. Move between the map and the cards as you study, using the map to organize the ideas and the cards to check what you remember.

Study spectra and chemical shifts

Another NMR mind map focuses on carbon NMR. It connects the number of peaks with carbon environments and discusses what a peak's chemical shift indicates. It also uses benzene as an example. A separate map brings carbon and proton NMR together, with branches on environments and the information each can provide.

The Option A - Analytical Chemistry flashcards ask what NMR measures, what appears on graph axes and what the area under a graph represents. The Analysis and spectroscopy deck includes questions on reference frequency and chemical shift tables. Work through these after looking at the maps, returning to a branch when you want to review a related idea.

Use this section of the unit

NMR spectroscopy is one section of the Chemical Analysis and Tests unit in Chemistry. The resources here give you different ways to study this section: maps for relationships between ideas and flashcards for questions and short explanations. There are no quizzes listed on this page, so pair a map with a flashcard deck instead.

Choose a map, then use a related deck to continue your study.
