Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Based on quantum mechanics, these hydrogen nuclei possess energy in two discrete quantities: low and high.Low-energy nuclei align their magnetic moments parallel to the external magnetic field and are termed spin-up nuclei.High-energy nuclei align their magnetic moments in the antiparallel direction and are termed spin-down nuclei.The strength of the external magnetic field determines which nuclei will orient spin-up or spin-down.There are always fewer high-energy (spin-down) nuclei than low-energy nuclei; therefore, the small number of spin-down nuclei will be cancelled out by the larger number of spin-up nuclei.
