Structure Determination: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
The exact position of each peak is called the chemical shift .
Practice this chapterThe exact position of each peak is called the chemical shift . Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy , or NMR , is the most valuable of the numerous spectroscopic techniques used for structure determination.
Although we focused in this chapter on NMR applications with small molecules, more advanced NMR techniques are also used in biological chemistry to study protein structure and folding When magnetic nuclei, such as 1 H and 13 C, are placed in a strong magnetic field, their spins orient either with or against the field.

What does “exact position of each peak” mean in Structure Determination: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for exact position of each peak.
- 2The book says: called the chemical shift.
- 3Keep the answer tied to this term.
Result: called the chemical shift
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for exact position of each peak.
Answer with the meaning this chapter gives. A nearby idea from the same book is a different term.
