Answer #1

Chemical shift depends on the net magnetic field felt by the nuclei (H,C). The net magnetic field, in turn, depends upon the electron density possessed by the particular atom (Shielding constant). In the case of hydrogen, there is just a single electron and by coordination with others (H-F, CH3-F etc) leads to the slight change in electron density around the hydrogen nuclei, therefore, results in the small range of chemical shift. However, carbon having six electrons, being tetravalent, as well as attached to diverse functionalities leads to the considerable change in electron density around the carbon.ttherefore protons attached to same carbon atom having different chemical shifts.
