It is a basic organic book for the first semester of Organic Chemistry. These are facts and not related to culture. The chemistry topics are listed typical for an organic book. For example, carbocation is labelled carocation However, more examples are needed to explain the concepts. The topics are presented in a logical manner. All students need many examples to understand the topic. Many more examples are needed for students. The headings and sub-headings are excellent. The textbook is consistent throughout in style. However, many more examples and problems are needed. The examples that are present are illustrated well. However, the numerous typos distract from the text. The text is written so that it is easy to understand. The topics that are included are the basics of organic chemistry.

Real world examples would improve the textbook, as students want to know how this relates to their real life. The material that is presented is accurate.

An index, glossary, and many end of chapter problems would be useful. Many topics are not covered in much detail such as nomenclature and VSEPR. More examples of IR and NMR interpretation and nomenclature examples are needed. This textbook covers most topics in the first semester of the year-long Organic Chemistry sequence. Reviewed by Hermann Christine, Chair, Full Professor, Radford University on 1/10/23 However more practice problems could be included with each chapter. Covers major concepts of Organic Chemistry I for students. Overall the book is really good a an OER option. For example in the spectroscopy chapter, the author should have included introduction of mass spectroscopy also along with IR and NMR.įew grammatical error but overall concepts can be understood. I really like the way sections are broken for each chapter.īook organization/ structure/flow are good except certain topics are omitted out. The book is quite relevant, since it covers most basic concepts of Organic chemistry I for freshman and sophomore students.īook content is very clear, but some more example could have been included for practice purpose.Īll terminologies mentioned in the test are very well explained. There are very few errors, but overall it is accurate and unbiased. The text covers most areas and ideas of the subject and does provide good glossary.
