Learning Objectives

At the end of this simulation, you will be able to:
  • Explain the core principles underlying the acquisition of proton NMR signals.
  • Provide a definition for chemical shift and elucidate the concept of peak splitting.
  • Illustrate how the molecular structure influences chemical shift and peak splitting in proton NMR spectra.
  • Elaborate on the notion of equivalent and non-equivalent protons within a molecule.
  • Assign chemical shift values to protons found in various functional groups, including alkanes, alkyl halides, alcohols, and ketones.
  • Analyze peak splitting patterns and peak integrals as tools for deducing the structure of a given organic compound.
  • Demonstrate the capability to utilize proton NMR spectroscopic data to deduce the complete structure of a straightforward organic compound.

How do virtual labs work?

Enhance students' involvement in science by immersing them in interactive learning scenarios. Create simulations for experiments, provide hands-on training in laboratory techniques, and convey theoretical concepts through captivating visual experiences to improve their overall long-term learning outcomes.

  • Access over 300 web-based simulations that are compatible with laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and iPads, eliminating the need for software installation.
  • Incorporate a teacher dashboard for automated grading and monitoring of student progress.
  • Utilize embedded quizzes to assist students in mastering scientific content.
  • Comprehensive repository of educational materials, including learning resources, lab reports, videos, theory pages, graphics, and more.
