How to memorise Organic Chemistry Reactions - Drawing Concept Maps
In Organic Chemistry, students need to memorise all reactions of various functional groups.
Drawing your own concept maps is an excellent way to memorise organic reactions.
Students can also make the connections between functional groups.
Your personal concept map beats any fancy concept map that you can find in textbooks or guide books.
To help students get started, here are my concept maps for most organic reactions in A Level Chemistry syllabus.
*Note P and R represent the number of Preparation reactions and Reactions respectively. Eg for Alkene with 2P + 7R, there are 2 Preparation reactions to form alkene and 7 Reactions of alkene to form other functional groups.
