Organic chemistry: molecule conventions


Organic conventions menu. This website provides guidance on drawing and naming organic molecules, including: the use of molecular and structural formulae; deriving formulae from names and vice versa; the names of compounds containing chains of carbon atoms; the naming of compounds containing benzene rings; and the use of curly arrows to show electron movement during organic reactions.

It is part of Chemguide, a resource created by Jim Clark to help students understand organic chemistry. http://www.chemguide.co.uk/basicorg/convmenu.html&handle=20041129-100322
