Organic Chemistry

Definition

In the context of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy in organic chemistry, integration refers to the process of measuring the area under the peaks in an NMR spectrum, which indicates the relative number of hydrogen atoms contributing to each signal. This technique allows chemists to determine how many protons (hydrogens) are in each unique chemical environment within a molecule.
