- Static text: Peaks on a page with chemical shifts listed in a table.
- Video approach: An animated spectrum where the narrator drags a cursor across the ppm scale. As the cursor hits the 2.1 ppm mark, the corresponding methylene protons on the molecule flash red. You hear the explanation: "Deshielded by the adjacent carbonyl."
The Pre-Lecture Prep
If you are taking a class, watch the corresponding VideoChemistryTextbook clip before your teacher lectures on it. You will walk into class already knowing the vocabulary, allowing you to focus on the harder details rather than the basics. Videochemistrytextbook.com
5. Features You Shouldn't Miss
