Question

how should i study organic chemistry?

Answer 1

Allocate your time and set study goals in advance. You will require no less than 10 hours of study time each week, beginning in the first week of the semester. You will get much more value for time and energy invested if you plan in advance what you intend to accomplish in each study session Because you are trying to acquire useful habits, setting up your study sessions at regular times and in the same, comfortable place is a good idea Choose these times and places to minimize interruption and distraction: this means no television and no loud music, and preferably a place where multiple friends will not drop by multiple times Focus on work from the moment you sit down; relax during breaks. Your plan for each new topic should include the following activities: Read the Study Goals for that topic Read and outline the appropriate sections of the text prior to the instructor's discussing them in class; Read through your class notes and merge them with the outline of the text; Write summaries of important points Make and use flash cards Make reaction summaries - both of the reactions of functional groups and of reactions that produce a particular functional group

Answer 2

u shud understand the properties of substances and reaction n then u shud practice the reactions.so get on and first write the reactions then revise them n then rewrite by recalling

hope so this will help

Answer 3

If you wish to learn reaction mechanisms, I suggest you consider "A Guide to Organic Chemistry Mechanisms". Mechanisms are taught with example based learning in which problems are presented at different levels of difficulty. You progress from the logic of the mechanisms to providing additional detail culminating in complete mechanisms. The best way to learn about the book is to download and do the sampler.



Everything about the book is designed to repeat patterns. Our brains are good at pattern matching so repetition is emphasized. The mechanisms on any page are similar to each other thus enabling that pattern matching teaching model.

Answer 4

hey even i m in plus 2

for studying organic chemistry , we need to practise the equations n understand the mechanisms n we need to by heart few important named reactions like rosenmund's reaction , Wurtz reaction n all those

for organic chemistry i would suggest

1,NCERT CBSE chemistry(part -2) text book (class -12)

2. O P TANDON is also an excellent book which i follow

Answer 5

Hello! U remind me of College days..... :)... Chemistry !!!!. It is a science so it has to be understood....not to be learnt by heart.



I can safely say that that your teacher is useless, her knowledge is limited to local books.Now , If you are really interested in studying chemistry, you need to devote time and have patience. I can suggest you two classic books in organic chemistry which detail every mechanism.



Organic Chemistry -by Morrison and Boyd -

Organic Chemistry -by Solomon( The original book has an accompanying CD)



I can confidently bet on these two books as I was a national rank holder 16 in Chemistry Olympiad in plus 2...happy reading...

Answer 6

i am sorry i don't have name of good sites

but i think you can study organic chemistry by training and writing equation

try to use paper when you are studing

and try to keep the names of organic compounds

i do this and this helped me

i hope this will help you

Answer 7

hi.

If u r in state board u ned 2 buy a CBSE (NCERT)text book.Mechanism of almost all the rxns r given in it.Bye.Hope u r satisfied with the answer.
