NMR Spectroscopy | A‑Level Chemistry Exam Question Walkthrough

This video is a full A‑Level Chemistry exam‑question walkthrough on NMR Spectroscopy, taking you through the reasoning, the spectra interpretation, and the structure‑deduction process exactly the way examiners expect.

What this walkthrough covers: Writing balanced equations linked to the molecule in the question Using proton NMR (¹H) and carbon‑13 NMR (¹³C) together Counting the number of peaks and what that tells you Using integration ratios to identify hydrogen environments Understanding splitting patterns (n+1 rule) Interpreting chemical shifts to identify functional groups Spotting asymmetric carbon atoms and why they matter Deducing parts of structures from fragments Combining all evidence to deduce the full structure in a long‑answer question Perfect for AQA Paper 2, Paper 3, OCR A, OCR B (Salters), and anyone revising NMR interpretation. 00:00 Intro 00:05 Walkthrough structure 00:49 Deducing structures using asymmetric carbons and number of peaks 05:33 Deducing structures using splitting patterns 09:22 6 mark question combing evidence to deduce a full structure
