chugwaterchili asked:


I just completed two semesters of general chemistry and I found it to be very difficult. I did learn the material but it took a lot of work and studying.

Is organic going to be worse? I have heard a lot of horror stories about organic chemistry and I would just like to know what I am up against.

I am a pretty good student, but everyone talks about how organic is such a hard class. Especially the second part. Is it even possible to get an A? Has anyone here done it?

You are planning to carry out a reaction between propyne, CH3C≡CH and sodium amide, NaNH2. You also need to choose an appropriate solvent for carrying out the reaction. Would ethanol be suitable for this purpose? Explain your rationale clearly.

Why would common names continue more in organic chemistry than in inorganic chemistry?

Rachel S asked:


You may have noticed that many organic compounds have two names. One is a formal name that follows the rules of organic naming. The other is an informal common name. Examples include (a) acetic acid and ethanoic acid and (b) adipic acid and hexanedioic acid. Although great effort has been put into establishing a uniform system of formal naming, establishing a uniform system of formal naming, usage of common names continues, especially in industry. Suggest reasons for this continuation. Why would common names continue more in organic chemistry than in inorganic chemistry?

How do you determine what conformation a ball and stick model is in for organic chemistry?

Jessica S asked:


I’m taking organic chemistry and I am having a hard time picturing 3D ball and stick models. I understand newman projection models but when examining these models I just can’t see their relationship.

The specific problem I am trying to do now is with 5 conformations of Butane. The goal is to figure out decreasing orders of steric energy.
I understand the concept on the order I just can not translate it into ordering the ball and stick models. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated
