Quite frankly the book is too big and I don’t want to read all of it. Where can I get the best study notes online?

I need to be able to draw the mechanism, with electron arrows and intermediates. But, I dont even know where to start!

I am junior in college and have basically made A’s in every class except for chem. 1 and 2. Chemistry makes me completely miserable, but I need to complete Organic Chem. 1 and 2 with A’s in order to get into med. school. No matter how hard I study, read, or work problems, I can’t ever seem to make an A. The labs are the most monotonous experiences I have ever had and I can’t ever do good in them either. Most other classes I can enjoy and make them fun and interesting but this stuff just completely makes my head hurt and puts me in a horrible mood. Suggestions and answers for making it simpler, more interesting/fun, how to get an “A”, etc. etc. would be appreciated.

I want to look over some texts before taking organic chemistry, so I’ll be better prepared. Do you guys know any good books or texts that might help?

I have to take general biology and chemistry first, but my friends have told me that when I do take organic chemistry, it will be very difficult. What can I do to prepare for the class?

Dave H asked:


I’ve noticed that with organic compounds, as a molecule gets bigger (more carbon atoms), its melting and boiling point increases. This has to do with intermolecular forces.

Why does it require more energy to break the intermolecular bonds of a bigger molecule? Aren’t the dispersion (intermolecular fores) the same for both molecules?

C-C-C-C — C-C-C-C (dispersion between 2 butane molecules)

C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C — C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C (dispersion between 2 octane molecules)

Can someone please explain?
Gervald, can you explain why bigger molecules can induce bigger the temporary dipoles?
