### Understanding Spin-Spin Splitting Patterns in the NMR Spectrum of BromoethaneIn this module, we explore the concept of spin-spin splitting patterns in proton NMR spectroscopy, specifically focusing on bromoethane. **Question:**In the \( ^1H \) NMR spectrum of bromoethane, the indicated methylene proton (**italicized, red font**) is split into what type of spin-spin splitting pattern?**Chemical Structure:**```plaintext Br |H — C — H | CH₃```**Options:**- one peak- two peaks- three peaks- four peaks- five peaks**Explanation:**For the given molecule, bromoethane:- The **methylene group** (–CH₂–) has protons that are adjacent to a **methyl group** (–CH₃).- According to the N+1 rule in NMR spectroscopy, where N is the number of neighboring protons, the proton in question will split into (N+1) peaks.- The methyl group (–CH₃) has three protons.Therefore, the splitting pattern for the methylene proton will be:\[N + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4 \text{ peaks}\]This means the indicated methylene proton will be split into **four peaks** due to the interaction with the three neighboring protons of the methyl group.**Correct Answer:**- four peaksUnderstanding this pattern is crucial for interpreting NMR spectra and identifying the structure of organic compounds. This basic principle of spin-spin coupling enables chemists to determine the number of hydrogen atoms and their environments within a molecule.
