What is the number of hyperfine splitting peaks of 13CH3 (13C is active nuclei with spin number I = 1/2)?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the number of hyperfine splitting peaks of the molecule 13CH3, which involves understanding the nuclear spin interactions of 13C with spin number I = 1/2.

More Information

The number of hyperfine splitting peaks for 13CH3 is calculated using the equation (2nI + 1), which accounts for the three equivalent hydrogen nuclei each with a spin of 1/2.

Tips

A common mistake is forgetting to use the equivalent formula for peak calculation when multiple equivalent nuclei are involved.
