See for yourself whether your answer was right:
| |
|
According to your answer |
Actual result |
 |
2 CH3 groups |
2 signals |
1 signal |
 |
1 =CH2 group |
1 signal |
2 signals |
Apparently it is not significant how many groups there are that
contain protons!
You assumed that there would be two signals in the case of acetone,
the first compound.
In other words, you think that the two methyl groups experience different
chemical shifts.
But that would mean that the electronic environment around the two
methyl groups is different. Is that actually the case?
In the case of the second compound you would have expected to find only
one signal since you assumed that both protons would have the same
chemical shift. Do these hydrogens really have the same, spatially
equivalent environment?
Reconsider these questions and try to come up with a better answer
for the initial question. Go back, do not pass
go, do not collect $2000.
