Identify the molecular structure of bromoethane (C\_2H\_5Br). It consists of a two-carbon chain where one carbon is bonded to three hydrogens (methyl group, CH\_3) and the other carbon is bonded to two hydrogens and one bromine atom (methylene group, CH\_2Br).
Determine the different types of hydrogen environments by examining the symmetry and chemical surroundings of the hydrogens. Hydrogens that are in the same environment (chemically equivalent) will give the same NMR signal.
In bromoethane, the three hydrogens on the methyl group (CH\_3) are equivalent because they are attached to the same carbon and have the same neighbors.
The two hydrogens on the methylene group (CH\_2Br) are also equivalent to each other but different from the methyl hydrogens because they are attached to a carbon bonded to bromine, which changes their electronic environment.
Conclude that there are two distinct sets of hydrogens, so bromoethane will show two distinct \( ^1H \) NMR signals.
