¹H nuclei located near electronegative atoms tend to be ________ relative to ¹H nuclei which are not.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nuclei located near electronegative atoms tend to be deshielded. This is because the electronegative atom can pull electron density away from the nucleus, reducing the effective shielding of the nucleus and causing it to experience a stronger magnetic field, resulting in a downfield shift in the NMR spectrum.
