Organic Chemistry Problem-Solving Approach
 
NOTES:
   
 For each homologous series, there are essentially 3 main areas of focus: 
   - Structure & Bonding 
    - Physical Properties (Trends) 
    - Chemical Properties (Reactions and Mechanism) 
 
  
 TYPES OF QUESTIONS:
 
   - Reactions 
    - Synthesis 
    - Distinguishing 
    - Elucidation

Arenes (overview)
← Back to Arenes        Structure & Bonding                 All C atoms in benzene are sp2 hybridised → benzene is planar      π e– are delocalised within the benzene ring → (i) added stability due to charge dispersal and (ii) all C–C...

Alkanes (overview)
     Structure & Bonding                 saturated: all C atoms are bonded to 4 atoms       all C atom are sp3 hybridised       non-polar       simple molecular structures consisting of alkane molecules held together by weak VDW forces           ...
