Which of the following is true about the shape (multiplicity) of the signal in a ¹H NMR spectrum?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The shape, or multiplicity, of a signal in a ¹H NMR spectrum indicates the number of neighboring protons that are three bonds away. This is because the splitting of the signal is caused by the magnetic interactions between these neighboring protons, which can either be adjacent to each other or separated by one other proton. The different multiplicity patterns, such as singlets, doublets, triplets, etc., correspond to different numbers of neighboring protons.
