Answer

The signal for TMS's 1H atoms is assigned δ = 0.
The signal for TMS's 1 H atoms is assigned δ = 0.
Note: To make sure that we know just how far downfield compounds are, we use tetramethylsilane (TMS) as the calibration standard to mark 0 ppm; when counting peaks, make sure to skip the TMS peak.
