Q

This localized magnetic field always ______ the applied magnetic field, which _____ the nucleus from the full effect of the applied magnetic field

A
  1. Opposes
  2. Shields
18
Q

What is shielding?

A

More electron density at nucleus (chemical shift will be upfield, low values)

19
Q

What is deshielding?

A

Less electron density at nucleus (chemical shift is downfield, higher values)

20
Q

The frequency at which a nucleus undergoes spin flip is called…

A

Resonance frequency

21
Q

NMR is a good tool to obtain…

A

Structural information

22
Q

What is the standard frame of reference used in H NMR?

A

TMS

23
Q

Do integrals add together to provide a partial number of H atoms in the molecule?

A

No, they add together to provide the TOTAL number of H atoms in the molecule

24
Q

Nuclei are _________ from the applied magnetic field

A

Protected

25
Q

The basis of chemical shift is; the net __________ ______ that is experienced by a nucleus is the ____ of the applied magnetic field

A
  1. Magnetic field
  2. Sum
26
Q

Will electronegative atoms like fluorine and chlorine will deshield or shield neighbouring atoms?

A

Deshield

27
Q

Higher electronegativity equals a greater _______ effect (downfield shift)

A

Deshielding

28
Q

If an atom is farther away from an electron withdrawing group will the deshielding effect be smaller or greater?

A

Smaller

29

30
Q

There’s an upfield shift/ increase in shielding when electron donating groups are…

A

Added

31
Q

When electron withdrawing groups are added neighbouring atoms will be increasingly….

A

Deshielded, produces a downfield shift

32
Q
