How to Identify Molecules - Proton NMR: Crash Course Organic Chemistry

The video tutorial introduces nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) as a modern analytical technique in chemistry, focusing on proton NMR. It explains the nuclear and magnetic components of NMR, how resonance is achieved, and how spectra are interpreted. The tutorial provides examples, including chloromethyl methyl ether and ethanol, to demonstrate spectrum analysis. It concludes with a mystery molecule analysis, highlighting the use of NMR in determining molecular structures.
