In organic chemistry, isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula (i.e. the same number of atoms of each element), but different structural or spatial arrangements of the atoms within the molecule. The reason there are such a colossal number of organic compounds – more than 10 million – is in part down to isomerism. This graphic can be filled in by students who are learning this topi...

As you progress through Organic Chemistry, mechanisms become very important to help us understand what is happening to the electrons in organic reactions. As with many of the skills that you learn in chemistry, you learn them so that you can predict outcomes in new situations. If you have read our primer on Reactions Kinetics, you will know that organic mechanisms were developed from rates experim...

We've added a primer on Reaction Kinetics to our A Level chemistry section. In GCSE Chemistry, students are typically taught a basic model of Kinetic Theory which allows us to explain the effects of temperature changes, concentration changes (including pressure in gases) and the addition of a catalyst on the rate of a chemical reaction. I don’t intend to repeat that, here... https://cramnow.com/...
