NMR Spectroscopy (AQA)

3 Full Lesson Bundle on Carbon-13 and Proton NMR Spectroscopy. Suitable for the AQA A Level Chemistry specification. Please review the learning objectives below.

Lesson 1: Carbon-13 NMR Spectroscopy

1. To explain why TMS is a suitable substance to use as a standard
2. To analyse 13 C NMR spectra or the structure of an organic molecule to make predictions about the number of different carbon environments
3. To use 13 C NMR spectra and chemical shift data from the Chemistry Data Booklet to suggest possible structures or part structures for organic molecules

Lesson 2: Proton NMR Spectroscopy (Part 1)

1. To analyse 1H NMR spectra or the structure of an organic molecule to make predictions about the number of different proton environments
2. To use 1H NMR spectra and chemical shift data from the Chemistry Data Booklet to suggest possible structures or part structures for organic molecules
3. To explain why deuterated solvents are used to dissolve samples for 1H NMR

Lesson 3: Proton NMR Spectroscopy (Part 2)

To analyse proton NMR spectra of an organic molecule to make predictions about:

i) The different types of proton environment present from chemical shift values
ii) The relative numbers of each type of proton present from the relative peak areas using integration traces or ratio numbers when required
iii) The number of non-equivalent protons adjacent to a given proton from the spin-spin splitting pattern, using the n+1 rule
iv) Possible structures for the molecule

A bonus question on combined techniques are also included in lesson 3!

Declaimer: Please refrain from purchasing this popular resource for an interview lesson or a formal observation. This is because planning your own lessons including using your own lesson PowerPoints is a fundamental skill of a qualified/unqualified teacher that will be reviewed during these scenarios outlined above
