Chemistry 3.5 Describe aspects of organic chemistry
Key tips
- Follow the symbols, nomenclature, spelling, and formatting of the current IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) convention as outlined from page four in the current Assessment specifications.
- If you can, demonstrate knowledge that you have gained from relevant practical work.
- Use full sentences, not bullet points, for discussion and explanation-type questions.
- Draw full structural formulae for organic compounds. Put the H at the end of the ‘bond’ lines rather than leaving it blank.
- Most textbooks have large flowcharts of the organic reactions and how they relate to each other. However, active learning would have YOU construct your own as you proceed through the unit OR photocopy one and cut it up, then try to reconstruct it based on what you have learned.
