hey guys!
For the organic chemistry portion of the test, how are the questions about
NMR and IR asked? what do I have to study for that part?
Do they give a graph and frequency chart for u to identify the molecule?
I heard that orgo part is pretty straight forward and easy.
I would really appreciate any tips on studying orgo part as well!
Thankx!!

Members don't see this ad.
 
no charts for me at least....just know where different functional would have peaks in a spectrum...
 
Know where a hydroxyl group's bond resonates and know where a carbon oxygen double bond resonates. They almost certainly won't ask you any other functional groups than those, maybe just maybe where a C=C bond is.

The questions on my test were extremely straightforward for all types of spectroscopy.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

I had some wierd specs on mine, and I also had some lab techinques which i will not elaborate on further here. Be prepared for anything.

Can you please briefly explain what kind of lab techniques I would have to know? I have never studied that. thankx
