Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry is a comprehensive book on Organic Chemistry for undergraduate students studying a preliminary course. The book covers the nomenclature and classification of hydrocarbons, giving students a vital understanding of the atomic structure and the bonding of Carbon-12. It helps students by giving them practical insights towards understanding the concepts in a practical context and shows them how the subject works in their everyday lives. In addition, the book has been updated with around 100 electrostatic potential maps display the polarity patterns in molecules and shows readers how these patterns assist researchers in determining chemical reactivity. The problem set included in the book form a valuable part of the students' learning and helps them tackle their examinations in a timely manner. The book is an essential resource for all students of Organic Chemistry. About John McMurry John McMurry is an American Chemist and academician.
