How Can I Understand Organic Chemistry? by BOOKWORMLUX(m): 12:07pm On Feb 20, 2021 |
I am a 100 level student and I am offering an organic chemistry course this semester. Everything seems strange and I need help. All through the ASUU strike, I was involved in some things that didn't allow me to revisit my books. Please help me! What books would make it easy? Any other suggestions that you have for me please. 1 Like |

Ask for the notes, books the lecturer is using. not only for Chemistry but all your courses and their past questions first then, you can look for other texts. There are those that offered the courses last session na. |

-I'll recommend you go back to your Ababio since you'll be familiar with it. -While reading, jot down points you get on a New exercise book. -Then go to Khan Academy website and answer organic chemistry questions. -After which you get your lecture notes and handouts to answer unfamiliar questions from it. -That way, you learn to love the Organic chemistry by answering questions. NB-Organic chemistry is more of inquisitive research which I afore stated. Good luck bro and don't forget your Nascent Hydrogen and Lucas Reagents 1 Like |

Maj196: That course was a nightmare to me! ICH101 and ICH102, I narrowly escaped them. Dear OP, kindly get close to those students that understand it more than you and read together. All the best my brother. 1 Like |

Relax, just prepare money wey u go carry runs the course, my guy ,time don go already for u to start go read. Nobody will blame u for runsing the course, because no be u send ASUU and fg make them no resolve their problem. |
Re: How Can I Understand Organic Chemistry? by gregyboy(m): 2:39pm On Feb 20, 2021 |
The question should be how can organic chemistry understand me, since i am not understanding it, Life is short, i will advice you to drop out and find one Hk go dey hustle if u be d next azaman |

Omo, the only way to crack that evil course is to spend quality time with it. I don't think there's any other way. Like someone recommended,use Ababio. In my secondary school I was a complete loser at chemistry,it was a nightmare. But that Ababio changed my story. Chemistry was always my highest score in jamb and putme. Even all 4 chemistry courses I did in my 100level including organic chemistry, I did well in all of them and it was with the knowledge I got from that book. I don't think I ever studied any chemistry in my 100 level. 1 Like |

Organic chemistry is even the easiest topic I self-taught myself. Just get Ababio textbook or go to YouTube videos.. 1 Like |
Re: How Can I Understand Organic Chemistry? by Goldeno(m): 4:05pm On Feb 20, 2021 |
my answer!? you can't you can read to know it not understand it. you can understand Math and physics not org. chemistry God knows how I tried, it's just not possible . The concepts do not have a pattern to understand. eg. reaction A+B=C you'll read heh but when you read further you realise A+B can give over 100 different products under a micro difference of numerous conditions. so ma one cent is, read to know they one lecturer give u and move on , no go over read 1 Like |

My daughter says you should go to YouTube for explanation. She said only books won't help much. Which other things took your attention during the strike. |
Re: How Can I Understand Organic Chemistry? by oneolajire(m): 6:42pm On Feb 20, 2021 |
Can you read by yourself? I mean reading for like two hours at a stretch on daily basis. If yes. Buy this book. SSCE AND UTME CHEMISTRY by Lamlad publications. Authors : Asubiojo and Ayinde. The books are easily found in western part of Nigeria. It should be between 2000 or 2500 naira |
Re: How Can I Understand Organic Chemistry? by esivue007(m): 8:14pm On Feb 20, 2021 |
oneolajire:lamlad dey too complex Essential or ababio chemistry would help him hands down. He may later consult lamlad as far as exercise is concerned |

BOOKWORMLUX: Organic chemistry does not need craming, it needs understanding and practice....as a graduate of chemistry I can gladly tell u that u can't be able to study most of the science related courses In the University without knowledge of organic chemistry, most of the science courses offers chemistry as a borrowed course... |
Re: How Can I Understand Organic Chemistry? by engrchykae(m): 9:04pm On Feb 20, 2021 |
BOOKWORMLUX:you could tame organic chemistry with osei yaw ababio's new school chemistry. That's the book I used to subdue chemistry in secondary school which helped me study polymer engineering. Start with homologous series. Understand the different families. Then you must have to draw structures. Play with structures,manipulate what is and what is not. You must be able to name what has name and what does not have name. By the time you are through with abusing organic chemistry,it will turn to verbal aptitude to you. I messed it up,now it's feeding me 2 Likes |

BOOKWORMLUX: I wanted to scroll past before but I thought it'd be unfair because many people who ask questions like this are usually clout chasers. nonetheless, I'll advise you to: 1. understand perfectly what hybridization is. Sp, Sp2, Sp3. 2. know most of the popular and common homologous series. the alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohol, carboxylic acids and it's derivatives. viz carboxylates, amides, anhydride, etc, alkyl halides, nitriles, etc. and be able to identify the functional groups. 3. be familiar with writing mechanisms of reactions. then take your time knowing reaction conditions. you have to cram the latter though. 4. consult many textbooks for a particular topic to have variety of perspectives on the topics. I'll recommend you search organic chemistry IIT JEE on Google and download the textbook. it's super comprehensive. if you couldn't find it, quote me and I'll know how to get it to you 1 Like |

Organic chemistry is easily once you understand the basics. As earlier suggested by others get Ababio. |

Celebrate with me. Months back I was here bitterly complaining about organic chemistry, but now I'm celebrating. I was able to get an A in the course. See it in the attached screenshot as CHM 121. THANK YOU JESUS. Nothing is impossible with God. Cc: lalasticlala join me celebrate this. 4 Likes
