The first of two workbooks through which students entering first year university courses can gain confidence in organic chemistry, this text will also be of use in lower and upper-level and courses in chemistry. Designed to challenge the student to test his or her knowledge, each section leads the student through the subject matter by giving a short piece of theory, followed by a question. Space is then provided for the student's answer, and the full model answer is given - encouraging thought about what is being read at all times. Areas covered include drawing structures, functional groups, and formulae, and molecular weights. Later sections covering such aspects as isomers, non-equivalent carbon and hydrogen atoms, and stereochemistry will be relevant to most parts of university courses in organic chemistry and are necessary pre-requisites before effective progress can be made to Beginning Organic Chemistry 2 - Workbook.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A fairly nice yet basic book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beginning Organic Chemistry 1 (Workbooks in Chemistry) (Paperback)
I used this as workbook as general review of organic chemistry. The book has many examples and introduces many topics but in general became only useful as a reference book when reactions start being covered.

This review is from: Beginning Organic Chemistry 1 (Workbooks in Chemistry) (Paperback)
This book is great because it is an interactive workbook that assumes very little knowledge.
