Flashcards for Organic Chemistry

– Stimulating recall

Summary/Abstract: The vast number and wide variety of types of organic compounds can create problems for students who need to remember structures, formulas, nomenclature and how to distinguish between functional groups of individual compounds. This is needed to assess their physical and chemical properties. Classification of organic compounds according to structural or semistructural formulas is, therefore, important knowledge for students. The core curriculum for chemistry at the 3rd stage of education requires that students are able to identify the alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, carboxylic acids, esters, amines and amino acids (Ministry of Education, 2008). Artful presentation of the structures of these molecules may assist in learning organic chemistry.
