Flashcards: Fundamentals of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance — 9 cards

NMR — energy process?

Nuclei absorb and emit radiofrequency energy.

NMR — energy absorption process?

Nuclei absorb RF energy, transition from low to high energy.

Electron movements — types?

Spin around own axis and orbital around nucleus.

Electron spin — definition?

Electron rotating around its own axis.

Orbital movement — analogy?

Electron's circular path around the nucleus.

Nucleus — subatomic particles?

Protons (positive) and neutrons (neutral).

Nuclear spin — role?

Intrinsic rotation of the nucleus.

Proton — charge?

Positively charged subatomic particle.

Neutron — charge?

Neutral, no charge.
