Consider compounds A-F.  There can be more than 1 choice

**Consider Compounds A-F**

Diagrams of six molecular structures labeled A to F are presented for analysis:

- **A**: A bromine (Br) atom is attached to a branched alkyl chain.
- **B**: A bromine (Br) atom is attached to a straight alkyl chain.
- **C**: A chlorine (Cl) atom is attached to a branched alkyl chain.
- **D**: A benzene ring with no substituents.
- **E**: A benzene ring with a methyl group attached (toluene).
- **F**: A benzene ring with an ethyl group attached (ethylbenzene).

**Questions for Analysis:**

1. **Which of these compounds have one type of hydrogen (will show 1 signal in \(^{1}\text{H NMR}\))?**  
   [Select]

2. **Which of these compounds have two types of hydrogen (will show 2 signals in \(^{1}\text{H NMR}\))?**  
   [Select]

3. **Which of these compounds have three types of hydrogen (will show 3 signals in \(^{1}\text{H NMR}\))?**  
   [Select]

4. **Which of these compounds have four types of hydrogen (will show 4 signals in \(^{1}\text{H NMR}\))?**  
   [Select]

5. **Which of these compounds have more than 4 types of hydrogen (will show more than 4 signals in \(^{1}\text{H NMR}\))?**  
   [Select]

**Explanation:**

To determine the number of types of hydrogen atoms, consider the molecular symmetry and environment of each compound. \(^{1}\text{H NMR}\) spectroscopy identifies hydrogen atoms based on their unique chemical environments. Different environments will give rise to distinct peaks in the spectrum.
