Question 1 of 6

1. Question

What is a reaction mechanism? (select one)

Something that helps you memorize reactions more easily.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

A set of directions that tells you how synthesize a particular molecule in the lab, which includes the masses of the reactants, and the conditions such as temperature.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Something that tells you how stable the products of the reaction are, compared to the reactants.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

A set of steps showing how a reactant molecule turns into a product molecule, through small, instantaneous changes in molecular structure.

Question 2 of 6

2. Question

Why are reaction mechanisms so important in Organic Chemistry? (select all that apply)

They simplify the learning of reactions, because the same patterns of steps show up in the mechanisms for different reactions.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

They reduce the amount of information you need to know, because the hundreds of reactions you need to know have mechanisms that are made from just a small number of different kinds of steps.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

They are mnemonics that help you memorize reactions more easily, and therefore save you time.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

They help you understand how and why reactions do what they do, which will help you remember reactions longer.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Question 3 of 6

3. Question

If reaction mechanisms are so important, why does this short course wait until Module 7 before beginning to cover reaction mechanisms in detail? (select one)

Having the best command of reaction mechanisms depends on understanding concepts from Modules 2 – 6.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The modules are arranged in order difficulty, so that the more difficult topics come later.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The modules are arranged alphabetically according to their titles.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

There’s no reason; the content from Module 7 could just as easily been presented in Module 2 instead.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

4. Question

What is the biggest difference between struggle and success for most students taking Organic Chemistry? (select one)

How much time the student spends memorizing reactions.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Whether the student uses flash cards to memorize reactions.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

How many pages of notes the student takes in class.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer

How much the student devotes to mastering reaction mechanisms.
Correct Incorrect Correct answer
