Worksheet: NMR Splitting Patterns
Q1:
The splitting of energy levels in the presence of a magnetic field is caused by which of the following?
- ASymmetry degeneracy
- BPauli exclusion principle
- CFermi contact interaction
- DThe Zeeman effect
- EBose-Einstein effect
Q2:

- AInteger quantum spin numbers
- BSpin-spin coupling interactions
- CFractional quantum spin numbers
- DDynamic fluxionality
- ELow natural abundances of the nucleus
