Bonding, structure, properties and energy changes (91164): the same IMF/polarity argument, applied to organic molecules Predicting boiling points and solubility for organic compounds (why an alcohol dissolves in water but a long hydrocarbon chain does not) uses exactly the polarity/IMF-strength argument built in that standard — only the specific molecules change here. Chemical reactivity (91166): the same reaction-rate reasoning, applied to organic reactions Collision theory (temperature, concentration, catalysts) explains why organic reactions here need heat, a catalyst, or reflux rather than distillation — the underlying mechanism is identical, just applied to a specific organic transformation. ✓The big picture in one sentence
Every part of this paper reduces to naming a structure precisely, then chaining it through the reaction web with the correct reagent, condition, and reaction-type name — memorising the web pays off far more than memorising isolated facts.Symbols and terms that mean something different across chemistry standards
- Δ (delta) here often marks "heat" written above a reaction arrow; in chem-91164 it more often appears as ΔrH, the enthalpy change of a reaction.
- "Major/minor" here refers to competing organic reaction PRODUCTS; the word does not appear in the same sense in chem-91164 or chem-91166.
