Equivalent and Non-Equivalent Protons in Proton NMR | How to Count NMR Peaks

In this video, I explain how to identify equivalent and non-equivalent protons in proton NMR and how this helps you count the number of peaks in an NMR spectrum. We will look at the key idea of proton environments, why equivalent hydrogens give the same signal, why non-equivalent hydrogens give different signals, and how symmetry helps you recognise identical environments quickly. This lesson is useful for A-Level Chemistry, organic chemistry, and anyone learning the basics of proton NMR spectroscopy. In this video, you will learn: 1. what equivalent and non-equivalent protons mean 2. why number of peaks depends on proton environments 3. how symmetry affects proton equivalence 4. how to count proton NMR signals step by step 5. common mistakes students make in NMR questions This video is designed for students preparing for school exams, tutorials, and structured organic chemistry questions. #chemistry #NMR #organicchemistry #protonNMR #alevelchemistry
