Organic Chemistry 1 (OER)

(View Complete Item Description)

This open textbook is suitable for the college-level first semester of Organic Chemistry. This book covers basic concepts of organic molecules' structures and reactivities with plenty of solved examples. Besides the fundamental concepts, topics of organic acids-bases, kinetics, thermodynamics of reaction, and stereochemistry, this book covers the preparation and reactions of alkyl halides, alkenes, alkynes, and alcohols. Understanding organic chemistry requires active studying. Studying Organic chemistry is akin to playing a new video game or learning to play an instrument. It just doesn’t come easy naturally. One cannot watch other people play piano/video games/teach Organic chemistry and become an expert on it. One must actively play/draw structures using a pencil and paper to draw and redraw structures, write reactions, and explore stereochemistry. Like a painting class!

Or online? Considering all of the technology available to students and the pressures they may face balancing all aspects of their life, they may be encountering more opportunities to cheat. In this module, students will learn about what to stay away from and what resources are available to them when they do need some extra help.
