Answer #1

Solution:- in formaldehyde(third structure) more electron negative oxygen atom is bonded to the carbon that reduces the electron density and makes it deshielded due to which the chemical shift increases. that's the only struture with more electron negative so would have the highest chemical shift.

in benzene and cyclohexane, protons are bonded to the sp2 and sp3 carbons and chemical shift changes as sp>sp2 >sp3. So, chemical shift would be greater for benzene as compare to cyclohexane.

in hexamethylbenzene the protons are bonded to the sp3 carbon but same time these carbons are bonded to the double bonded carbons so chemical shift would be in between benzene and cyclohexane.

so, increasing order for chemical shift would be...

cyclohexane(II) < hexamethylbenzene(IV) < Benzene(I) < Formaldehyde(III)
