Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy is a technique that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to analyze the structure of molecules. Atoms with certain nuclei, like hydrogen, behave like tiny magnets. When exposed to a magnetic field, these nuclei align and can be disturbed by radio waves. As they return to their original state, they emit signals that provide detailed information about the molecule's atomic environment and structure. NMR is widely used in chemistry and medicine (like MRI) to identify molecules and understand their arrangements at the atomic level.
