INTERACTIVE ORGANIC CHEMISTRY TUTORIALS
It
is very important that you understand electron-dot
formulas, the nature of chemical
bonds and hybridization before studying
Organic Chemistry...you cannot possibly understand reactions, reaction
mechanisms, stereochemistry and the
reasons why things happen if you don't understand bonding!
Organic Nomenclature Tutorial...This tutorial is an interactive tutorial covering the most common functional groups found in organic chemistry. It is not meant to be a comprehensive coverage of organic nomenclature.
Organic
Chemistry Multiple Choice Problems...These problems are
arranged with respect to type of functional group and are
designed
so that wrong answers are discussed as to the thought process that probably was
used to arrive at that answer and give some hints as to how to answer the
problem. There are some Advanced
Multiple Choice Problems arranged with respect to type of reaction mechanism
and some
Miscellaneous
Questions Vol. 1
and Vol.
2 that have ranked answers but no explanations. These will
serve best as a review for final examinations. The questions in the first
volume should be covered in a typical one-semester course and thus this volume
can be used to study for a final in those courses. When both volumes are used,
they cover the material found in a full year course and should be a good review
for a comprehensive course.
If you wish to see how you would do on a standardized
timed exam...allow yourself 90 minutes for each volume and write down the answers on a sheet of
paper...don't click on the answers since that will slow you down. The standardized exam for Organic
Chemistry has 70 questions to be taken in 120 minutes.
Organic
Reaction Mechanisms...These interactive html tutorials are arranged with respect to type of functional group and are designed to present problems in
a question-answer format. The
animated gif files load quickly and show mechanisms in a sequential fashion
using traditional formulas. If you have a fast internet connection you can
view these as movies.
Organic
Synthesis Problems...These interactive html
tutorials are designed to present problems in a question-answer format and
allow you to study the concepts at your own pace.
Resonance...These are animations of various resonance mechanisms.
Three Dimensional Reactions...These movies may help you visualize reactions in a spatial environment.
