[@DiLLZGFX]

The Oxygen is very electronegative meaning, it's attraction to the electrons is so strong that the nucleus of the Hydrogen is exposed more to the EM waves. So it will cause a peak further the left ( Larger PPM value, down shift). The OH group produces a singlet because the H is bonded to the oxygen which is not bonded to any other hydrogen atoms, so in this case n is equal to 0. By following the rule of N+1, you will get a singlet obviously due to 0+1=1. Reference to 14:50 .

[@madviper162]

Nice word examiners like is deprotonated; "the oxygen is highly electronegative so it will deprotonate the hydrogen causing the H to shift to the left"

[@ellakitcat5653]

You’re our saviour.

[@rojafx]

On an exam question if it asks something like: what does the splitting pattern at 3.2 tell you about this hydrogen?, how would you explain the answer? Like I get why in my head but what would be the best way to explain it on paper?

[@TheRABIDdude]

rojafx "peak at 3.2 is a [ quartet ], so there are [ 3 ] hydrogens on neighboring carbon atoms." If it's a longer question I would probably mention "because of the the n+1 rule" as well. The best way to be sure is to do some past questions and just see what the most common phrasing is on the mark schemes :)

[@MrERintoul]

rojafx I would say exactly as TheRABIDdude said!

[@MrERintoul]

TheRABIDdude Good reply - thanks!

[@TheRABIDdude]

E Rintoul No problem, I've been doing a lot of these questions lately and one little change I want to make to that first answer I gave, is it seems to be better to say " *due to* 3 neighboring hydrogens" rather than "so there are 3 neighboring Hydrogens". It's a small thing but the mark schemes seem to be picky about how splitting is the result of the number of hydrogens rather than the other way around.

[@MrERintoul]

TheRABIDdude Ah yeah, I can see now how the due makes the answer that bit better. Good work on correcting it and being so proactive!

[@dno.16]

btw i foudn this for a mark scheme point on a 5 marker fro why TMS, CCL4 and CDCL3 are being used. CCl4 non polar (- good solvent for non-polar organic molecules) 2c CDCl3 polar covalent molecule (- good solvent for polar organic compounds) at 5:24

[@yussrahajaji8572]

Hello I just wanted to ask about the last question it got me confused how all the peaks are singlet yet you drew the carbon with 2 hydrogen as it integration with the the carbon and 2 methyl groups since it longer makes it a singlet as the neighboring hydrogen add up it would be really helpful of you replied ASAP and thanks

[@ObjectPopular]

at 32:38, I think its an ester instead because of the 2.6 being too high for a ch2 group. Instead it should be the other side of the ester group. I'm down to bre proven wrong ;)

[@assemubigaliyeva5872]

Hello, such a nice explanation, loved it! But I was just wondering if it is an a 2 topic, I study AS currently, but there's somehow nothing about splitting patterns in my textbook

[@syriansalafi17]

Acee Glob Yes this is an A2 topic for AQA chemistry. I suggest you check the course specification which outlines what topics are AS and what topics are A2 only. Hope this helps!

[@AdzzVR]

So essentially the integrator trace is the ratio of Hydrogens present?

[@rojafx]

There was another question I was doing which asks: What does the integration trace tell you about the hydrogen atom with a chemical shift of 2.4? what would the ideal answer be for something like this

[@MrERintoul]

rojafx The integration trace gives the ratio of the hydrogens in their respective environments. If you have a molecular formula, you can easily work out how many actual hydrogens would be in each environment. I think I would need to see the question to have a better idea of what was being asked... failing that, could you give some more details?

[@rojafx]

E Rintoul nahh its fine just do some chem 4 video walkthroughs and i'll be fine ur vids are amazing keep it up ;)

[@zehra366]

Please make me understand •hiw you drew the structure for part 3 in last question. •I'm also unable to get whether you add hydrogen to R or directly to carbon.

[@MrERintoul]

+Zehra Abid You need to use the information from the figures given as well as the data sheet in order to get a full idea of that particular fragment. I don't understand your other question about hydrogen being attached to R or carbon - it really depends on the situation!

[@poolmaster18]

what about the 25 mark questions?

[@MrERintoul]

+matthew ryder What about them...? You doing AQA?

[@andremifsud3669]

in the last example it is said in the question that there are 4 singlet peaks, with regards to the last column at chemical shift 3.8 im assuming its referring to the H in the OH grp. now in the molecule the C that is attached to the OH is also adjacent to 3C with a total of 8H. im not understanding then how it is a singlet and not a 9-peak

[@willowinnit1169]

i know u said this 11 months ago but i have the exact same question im so confused 😭

[@willowinnit1169]

wait actually i understand now lol nevermind. i think the carbon you're on about has two proton enviroments. one on the oxygen and one on the 2 CH3s as they are the same . the hydrogen on the oxygen is a singlet as the oxygen is blocking it from other hydrogens and and the hydrogens on the CH3s count as singlets as the carbons are blocking them from other hydrogens. ur probably not even doing a levels anymore tho lol

[@kaavyasurianarayanan8247]
