Expert Solution
Step 1

NMR is Nuclear magnetic resonance. Molecule when placed inside the strong magnetic field gets disturbed and produced an electromagnetic signal which is further get detected by the detector. This signal is analyzed to check the structure of the molecule. Molecule nucleus self act as a weak magnet.
