    …is referred to as the shielding of the nuclear charge. Next, it is necessary to note that a 2s electron can penetrate through the core (that is, have nonzero probability of being found closer to the nucleus than the bulk of the core electron density). If penetration occurs, the electron…

    …tetramethylsilane, are said to be shielded from the applied field of the instrument’s magnet. The electronegative bromine atom in bromoethane pulls electrons away from the carbon and hydrogen atoms. The CH2 hydrogens are more strongly affected than the CH3 hydrogens and thus have a greater chemical shift, because they are…
