Do we have to memorize the specific number on the field and its corresponding structure in NMR, IR..?

I would know main ones. For example in H-NMR, the aromatic protons on the ring usually show up around 7.....aldehydes are around 9-10...etc. For IR, I would also know main peaks such as OH's (3300-3500). C=O (1600-1700).....etc. Also for H-NMR, know that if you have protons that are not coupled and thus would exhibit a singlet, but if are within two bonds of a highly electronegative atom (halide, or oxygen)....then the peak will be shifted further downfield (away from zero). Deshielding is downfield (helpful hint). Hope that helps.

Thank you so much!

Know the rule for n+1...triplet, doublet, singlet, etc...

Also i would know some of the major IR signals like the OH or the NH, NH2, COOH, etc... groups.
