Organic chemistry tutor

Reactions of alcohols are one fo those must-know topics for anyone who's taking organic chemistry and is planning to take MCAT in the future.

Organic Chemistry Molecular Representations and Bonding in Organic Molecules Resonance By resonance in organic chemistry we mean an interaction of multiple p-orbitals making a long π-bond spanning multiple atoms. A case of a simple π-bond results from the interaction of the two p-orbitals connecting two atoms. However, there are situations when three or more orbitals...

FacebookTweetPin Guide To Functional Groups By Mayya Alocci Functional groups are different groups of atoms that characterize a molecule and give it specific chemical reactivity. These groups also serve as basis to name organic molecules. Molecules that have the same functional groups belong to the same class. Note: “R” notation represents all alkyl groups (any...

This tutorial goes over the detail of VSEPR theory and Hybridization in organic chemistry with all you need to score 100% on your test.

Organic Chemistry Aldehydes and Ketones Aldehydes and ketones are the two functional groups that share a lot of similarities. They both contain the C=O double bond, they both are polarized and have a δ+ charge on carbon and a δ- charge on oxygen. Thus, due to the structural similarity, aldehydes and ketones have many reactions...

How to calculate formal charges in organic molecules? Well, there's a simple trick to it: charge = valence electrons - lines - dots!

Aromatic Compounds and Their Reactions Organic Chemistry Cheat Sheet Aromatic compound Styrene Benzene Xylene Naphthalene Toluene Biphenyl Organic compound Azulene Aromatic compounds or arenes undergo substitution reactions, in which the aromatic hydrogen is replaced with an electrophile, hence their reactions proceed via electrophilic substitution. The order of substitution on aromatic compounds is governed by the
