How To Manage Your Class If You Are Retaking Organic Chemistry Organic chemistry has a reputation as being the most challenging science course. On average, 40% of students don’t pass on the first attempt. For most of those students, their final grade has very little to do with their ability to learn the material. Instead, … Retaking Organic Chemistry: Part 1, Managing Your Circumstances Read More » The post Retaking Organic Chemistry: Part 1, Managing Your Circumstances appeared first on Chemistry Help Center ..read more

Modern biology is inescapably dependent on organic chemistry.  From macro to micro, ecology to quantum biology, everything we know about life is built on an understanding of events happening at a molecular scale.  This is especially true for healthcare and medicine.  Drug design targets neurological and metabolic pathways with chemicals designed to patch malfunctioning chemical … Functional Groups for Health and Bio Majors Read More » The post Functional Groups for Health and Bio Majors appeared first on Chemistry Help Center ..read more

There are many different ways to study organic chemistry. I’m pretty sure most of you know about, and many of you actually use this simple learning strategy—flash-cards. Now, how exactly do you make your flash cards? Do you just put some info you need to remember on it and flip through your cards from time … Using Flash Cards to Study Organic Chemistry Read More » The post Using Flash Cards to Study Organic Chemistry appeared first on Chemistry Help Center ..read more

When it comes to spectroscopy and solving spectroscopy problems (finding the structure corresponding to the spectrum), one would usually approach it in a sequence of steps. First, I’d look at the molecular formula (or calculate one from the mass-spec) to get the HDI (Hydrogen Deficiency Index or Degree of Unsaturation). That might give some hints … Spectroscopy: Fine Details Matter! Read More » The post Spectroscopy: Fine Details Matter! appeared first on Chemistry Help Center ..read more
