Identify the different types of hydrogen environments in n-butane (CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3) by examining the molecular structure and symmetry.
Look at the terminal methyl groups (CH3) on both ends of the molecule. Determine if these hydrogens are equivalent or different based on their chemical environment.
Examine the two methylene groups (CH2) in the middle. Check if the hydrogens on these carbons are in the same environment or if they differ due to their position relative to the ends of the chain.
Group hydrogens that are chemically equivalent (i.e., have the same electronic environment and are interchangeable by symmetry) to predict the number of distinct NMR signals.
Conclude the total number of unique proton environments, which corresponds to the number of distinct 1H NMR signals observed for n-butane.
