Organic Chemistry Test Posted

I finished the Organic Chemistry Test and it has been posted on the Events Calendar under the date Wednesday, November 24th. The test will be worth a total of 29 points that will go towards your ASSESSMENT (60% OF YOUR GRADE) category. This is a great opportunity for everyone to have a really good test score to help your overall grade.

When answering the written questions: (1) make sure to define any terms that you may use; (2) when comparing molecules, make sure to highlight similarities and differences between the molecules; and (3) reference any figures that you may draw to represent the compound(s) in question.

The test is a little different than the practice test. In the test, I have taken some liberties to incorporate concepts from past units into organic chemistry. One is polarity of molecules. A polar molecule is asymmetrical in relation to dipoles within the molecule. A non-polar molecule is symmetrical in relation to dipoles within the molecule. I have also incorporated chemical reactions, like the AP Chemistry test will do. Remember, most organic compounds are hydrocarbons. You need to know what is produced when a hydrocarbon combusts.

Good luck and email me if you have any questions.
