Answer to Question #107830 in Inorganic Chemistry for Lilesh

Question

Chemical shift value for obfinic alcohols and enols

Answer 1

The chemical shift is the resonant frequency of a nucleus relative to a standard in a magnetic field. Often the position and number of chemical shifts are diagnostic of the structure of a molecule. Chemical shifts are also used to describe signals in other forms of spectroscopy such as photoemission spectroscopy.

Some atomic nuclei possess a magnetic moment, which gives rise to different energy levels and resonance frequencies in a magnetic field.
