Proton Nuclear Spin States Magnetic Field Two states have the same energy in the absence of a magnetic field
Protons in an external magnetic field Energy difference between the spin-states depends on the strength of the magnetic field.

Tetramethylsilane TMS Reference compound for NMR spectrum.
Cl 3 CH NMR signal 437 Hz at 60 x 106 Hz TMS Magnetic Field
Chemical Shift Scale Chemical Shift = = Position of Signal - Position of TMS Spectrometer Frequency 437 Hz - 0 Hz 60 x 106 Hz x 106 = 7. 28 ppm Units = parts per million = ppm
