yes post it don worry...No one here is gonna snitch on you...
Snitches are bitches and deserve stitches.
I'm reviving this thread. Help me out please! The answer states that there are two singlets in:
B. 1,4-Dimethoxybenzene
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,4-Dimethoxybenzene
But wouldn't there also be two singlets in another answer choice:
D. Acetone ?
Wouldn't acetone give 2 singlets as well? Or is it because there's symmetry, so only one H singlet is shown since they overlap? And 1,4 dimethoxybenzene shows two singlets because one from the aromatic H and one from the methoxy H? The other methoxy H and aromatic H's are equivalent so would just overlap, leading to only two visible singlets? Am I correct?

Yup, acetone should give only one singlet I think. All 6 H's are equivalent.
I think your reasoning is correct for 1,4-dmb as well.
