Nucleic acids are hydrocarbons that also contain nitrogen, phosphorus and oxygen elements. 
Hydrocarbons are long chains of carbon that have additional bonds exclusively with hydrogen atoms. They are hydrophobic, or not soluble in water. Nucleic acids are macromolecules that are made of units called nucleotides, they are mainly in two forms; the RNA and and the DNA. Both the RNA and DNA have a pentose sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogen containing base.

Which of the following statements about 13C NMR is not true?A. In 13C proton-decoupled NMR spectra, all peaks are singlets.B. 13
adoni [48]

Answer: .B. 13C NMR spectra display peaks for only carbons that bear hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:

The statements that are true about 13C NMR are:

A. In 13C proton-decoupled NMR spectra, all peaks are singlets.

C 13C NMR chemical shifts occur over a greater range than 1H NMR chemical shifts.

D. 13C NMR easily differentiates between the different hybridized carbons (sp3, sp2, and sp hybridized carbons).organic-chemistry

Therefore, the option that isn't true is option B. "13C NMR spectra display peaks for only carbons that bear hydrogen atoms". This is false because 13C NMR will show every peak in the spectrum and it doesn't matter if it's only carbons that bear hydrogen atoms as everything will be shown.
