1. What happens when NMR active nuclei is irradiated with radiowave frequencies ?
The question is from structural biology(NMR spectroscopy).
Into nuclear magnetic resonance,which is detected with sensitive radio receivers the intramolecular magnetic field around an atom in a molecule changes the resonance frequency,thus giving access to details of the electronic structure of a molecule and its individual functional groups.as the field are unique or highly characteristic to individual compound in modern organic chemistry practice,NMR spectroscopy is the definitive method to identify mono molecular organic compounds.
