About introduction to organic chemistry notes
GoConqr OriginalIntroduction to organic chemistry notes
These notes offer different ways into the unit. Organics notes brings together isomers and several groups of compounds, including alcohols and carboxylic acids. Other notes focus on a single topic, such as Haloalkanes or Aromatic Compounds. For reaction mechanisms, there is Fundamental reaction mechanisms and the MCAT organic chemistry note.
How to use the notes
Start with Organics notes if you want to see a range of topics before choosing one to study in detail. If you are working on naming, look for the notes on naming organic compounds. Read a short section, then cover it and try to recall the key terms before checking them.
When you want to test that recall, switch to a quiz on the unit page. A mind map can also help you revisit a topic in a different format. Choose a note that matches what you are studying today.
Frequently asked questions
Which note is a good place to start?
Try Organics notes for an overview of several topics, including isomers, alkanes, alcohols and carboxylic acids. If you already know what you want to revise, a focused note such as Haloalkanes or Aromatic Compounds may be more useful. Read a section and check what you can recall.
Which levels and exams do these notes suit?
The collection is mainly for school-level study, with some university-level material. It includes A-Level Chemistry: Polymers and MCAT Chemistry - Organic Chem. School students, university students and professional candidates can look for notes relevant to their course, while teachers can select material for their classes.
Are these notes free to use?
Yes. Every note listed here is free to open and study without an account. The resources were made by GoConqr users rather than GoConqr. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
