Proton NMR integration and splitting patterns
What Proton NMR integration and splitting patterns means in Chemistry A-Level, as defined for OCR.
Definition of Proton NMR integration and splitting patterns
Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Proton NMR integration and splitting patterns in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: OCR
Relative areas fix how many hydrogens sit in each environment, and splitting patterns confirm the number of hydrogens on adjacent carbon atoms.
