Hyperfine Splitting; (J-coupling/ scalar coupling)
The general rule is that a signal will be split into (n+1) peaks
if there are n equivalent (or nearly equivalent) H atoms three
bonds away. 7 8

Coupling Constant
Hyperfine splitting arises due to the coupling (transmission
of the spin state information) of the adjacent magnetic
nuclei via bonding electrons. HX feels the spin orientations of HA.
