* By exposing atoms to a magnetic field and RF of a given frequency, we can put them into '''resonance'''. This can be measured, and is the basis for the technique.

Whereas other spectroscopic techniques are concerned with the electrons of an atom. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJhVotrZt9I Nonetheless, the electrons surrounding an atom influence how much the nucleus is "diamagneticically shielded" from the effects of the RF of the NMR.] This allows Hydrogen atoms in different states to be observed.
In spite of nature of the nucleus of an atom being crucial to NMR in that the technique is only useful with certain configurations of the nucleus, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJhVotrZt9I the electrons of an atom do influence how much an atom is diamagnetically shielded from the effects of RF.]
