Answer: A nucleus that absorbs at [tex]11.45\delta[/tex] is less shielded and a nucleus that absorbs at [tex]4.13\delta[/tex] will require a stronger applied field
Explanation:
While interpreting the data in NMR, the positions of signals are studied.
The nucleus/ protons having a higher value of [tex]\delta[/tex] are said to be less shielded. They are said to be upfield.
The nucleus/protons having a lower value of [tex]\delta[/tex] are said to be more shielded. They are said to be downfield.
So, a nucleus that absorbs at [tex]11.45\delta[/tex] is less shielded by the nucleus that absorbs at [tex]4.13\delta[/tex]
Also, the less shielded nucleus/protons will require a weak applied field to come into resonance than the more shielded nucleus/protons
So, a nucleus that absorbs at [tex]4.13\delta[/tex] will require a stronger applied field to come into resonance than the nucleus that absorbs at [tex]11.45\delta[/tex]
