Welcome to Organic Chemistry

This catagory builds on the previous organic chemistry unit, but covers everything in much more detail but hopefully still as easy to understand. Learn about.

  • The wonderful world of alcohols
  • How organic compounds are named
  • Fractional Distillation.
  • NomenclatureLearn about the naming of organic compounds so that everyone knows what you're talking about.
    IsomerismStructural isomers: chain and position and geometric or cis-trans isomers.
    PetroleumFractional distilation, cracking, combustion & catalytic conversion and chlorination.
    AlcoholsProduction of ethanol, types of alchol, oxidation of alchols and aldehyde and ketone tests.
    HaloalkanesNucleophillic substitution and elimination in haloalkanes and what makes either more likely.
    AlkenesStructure and bonding, hydrogenation, eletrophillic addition and polymerisation of alkenes.
    EpoxyethaneProduction, hazards, properties, reaction to make diols and uses of this diol.
