What is chemical shift in NMR and how is it measured?

• Chemical shift in NMR is the difference in resonance frequency of a nucleus compared to a standard reference, and it is measured in parts per million (ppm).

• Chemical shift in NMR is the color change of the sample, and it is measured using a colorimeter

• Chemical shift in NMR is the temperature at which the sample is heated, and it is measured in degrees Celsius

• Chemical shift in NMR is the amount of mass lost during the process, and it is measured in grams

Explain the concept of shielding and deshielding in NMR spectroscopy.

• Shielding reduces the magnetic field experienced by the nucleus, while deshielding increases it.

• Deshielding reduces the magnetic field experienced by the nucleus

• Shielding and deshielding have no effect on the magnetic field experienced by the nucleus

• Shielding increases the magnetic field experienced by the nucleus

What is spin-spin coupling in NMR and how does it affect the NMR spectrum?
