Module 4 Core Organic Chemistry

Handwritten, detailed notes with diagrams. Covers all content in module 4

Here it will summarise the different substitution reactions of haloalkanes using nucleophilic substitution and will also explain the trends in rates of hydrolyse of primary haloalkanes. It will also summarise the action of UV radiation and the different equations to support how the ozone layer is catalysed.

Here it will summarise the different properties of alcohols and the combustion of alcohols too. It will also explain how they can be oxidised by different oxidising agents .

In these notes it summarises the IUPAC rules and the interpretation of different terms such as the general formula etc It also summarises the use of different functional groups and what isomerism is as well as the different reaction mechanism.

Here it will summarise the use of spectroscopy and how to work out what compound is being shown by using the different techniques including elemental analysis, mass spectra and IR spectra.

For students doing A Level Chemistry under the OCR A specification. This module is for AS Level too. The main themes in this summary guide include: Basic concepts; Hydrocarbons; Alcohols and haloalkanes; Organic synthesis; Analytical techniques (IR and MS). The chapters are condensed into concise snippets, less than A4 page, for effective revision.

In these notes it will summarise alkenes and aliens and what their properties are as well as their reactions by describing the pic and sigma bonds. It will also summarise the different stereoisomers and what polymers can be used for.
