Proton NMR

Proton NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) is a technique used by chemists to analyze the structure of organic molecules. It works by placing a sample in a strong magnetic field and then sending radio waves through it. The protons (hydrogen atoms) in the molecule respond to these signals depending on their local environment. By measuring these responses, scientists can determine how protons are arranged in the molecule, revealing its chemical structure. This method helps identify substances, understand their composition, and study how molecules are built and interact.
