This is the Student Study Guide and Solutions Manual to accompany Organic Chemistry, 2e. Organic Chemistry, 2nd Edition is not merely a compilation of principles, but rather, it is a disciplined method of thought and analysis. Success in organic chemistry requires mastery in two core aspects: fundamental concepts and the skills needed to apply those concepts and solve problems. Readers must learn to become proficient at approaching new situations methodically, based on a repertoire of skills. These skills are vital for successful problem solving in organic chemistry. Existing textbooks provide extensive coverage of, the principles, but there is far less emphasis on the skills needed to actually solve problems.

This manual* provides solutions to all problems in the text. It explains in detail how the answers to the in-text and end-of-chapter problems are obtained. It also contains chapter summaries, study hints, and self-tests for each chapter. *The Solutions Manual for this product is available ONLY in print. Contact your Pearson rep to obtain a copy.

"Joel Karty doesn't just think that students benefit from a mechanistic approach-he can prove it. With the third edition, Joel brings organic chemistry to life through a new series of student-focused videos on mastering mechanisms and succeeding in the course. Furthermore, Joel has brought more active-learning into the text, including a new two-column solved problem format that helps promote understanding over memorization, and in-text features that challenge students to apply new concepts just after reading about them"--

Written by Janice Gorzynski Smith and Erin Smith Berk, the Student Study Guide/Solutions Manual provides step-by-step solutions to all in-chapter and end-of-chapter problems. Each chapter begins with an overview of key concepts and includes a short-answer practice test on the fundamental principles and new reactions.

Following a brief review of structure and bonding, organic molecules and functional groups are presented as early as possible. The text is organized primarily by functional group, beginning with simple alkanes and moving toward more complex compounds. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental mechanistic similarities of organic reactions. .McMurry's thorough revision continues to present the solid content necessary for this course without sacrifice of important subjects and pedagogical tools. Text and reaction summaries, full problem sets, and outstanding artwork are just some of the features in the Third Edition, usually found in a full-year book. McMurry's clear, well-written explanations remain a highlight of the book.
