Explain the concept of spin-spin coupling in NMR spectroscopy.
Spin-spin coupling in NMR spectroscopy is the interaction between the magnetic fields of different nuclei, resulting in the splitting of NMR signals.
Spin-spin coupling is the phenomenon where NMR signals are canceled out due to interference.
Spin-spin coupling refers to the alignment of nuclear spins in the same direction in NMR spectroscopy.
Spin-spin coupling is the process of combining two different NMR spectra to enhance signal resolution.
