Preparing for Your ACS Examination in Organic Chemistry: The Official Guide
(commonly called the Organic Chemistry Study Guide)
ISBN: 978-1-7327764-1-8
This paperback guide includes 240 pages of information separated into First-Term Organic Chemistry material and additional Full-Year Organic Chemistry material. Each section contains chapters that align to most Organic chemistry textbooks for a seamless addition to study materials for students.
Each chapter is designed with three sections:
- Introductory section of the material, including common representations and where to find this material in a textbook.
- Worked examples of typical multiple-choice questions, A.K.A. Study Questions (SQs), including how the correct and incorrect answers are determined.
- A series of Practice Questions (PQs) to test the concepts collectively. The key is provided on a separate page for all Practice and Study Questions. Each Study Question also includes a listing of the corresponding Practice Questions that employ the same concepts.
Chapters in the study guide are as follows:
First-Term Material:
-
- Structure: Shape and Stability
