Organic Chemistry Fall 08

Published

Any suggestions, comments, hints, study startegies would be greatly appreciated for preparation for Fall 2008!:typing

Anybody else struggling with bond-line structures? Every time I look at a problem, I get all sweaty. :uhoh3:

I am about as non-visually-oriented as you can get. So while the rest of my class is going, "OK, I get this", I'm saying, "Wah? huh? Why did you just do that?" I love chemistry, but this is giving me fits!

Well, I dug in today and I've found a bunch of practice problems to do. I'm starting to see patterns, but it's slow going. I know I have to get good at this.

I've noticed that not all books and professors stress bond-line structures. A lot of them favor condensed structural formulas and use the bond-line structures mainly for cyclical molecules. Why couldn't I get one of those as a teacher! :chuckle
