Is there a good tutorial on inductive effects, especially as they relate to acids and bases as taught in Organic Chemistry? My book is lacking information on this.
The teacher discussed this subject in class today and I think it may have to do with a previous question by Lindz.
Thanks from Sheryl
I wrote an answer about an hour ago but it didn't post for some reason. I found one interesting site from the UK and good examples of halogen addition to double bonds but nothing abuot how an ether group would affect the rates. I think you are correct about the questions from Lindz; I am positive this is the key. Last night I read what I could on the Internet and in a trext I have at home, then winged it.
Hello Sheryl! I apologize for the confusion in your previous question. I understand that you are looking for a good tutorial on inductive effects, specifically in relation to acids and bases as taught in Organic Chemistry. If your book lacks information on this topic, there are several resources available online that can help you understand inductive effects and their role in acid-base reactions.
Here's a step-by-step guide to finding a good tutorial:
1. Start by searching for "inductive effects tutorial" or "acid-base reactions tutorial" on popular search engines like Google.
2. Look for reliable educational websites or online platforms that offer tutorials on Organic Chemistry. Some examples include Khan Academy, Organic Chemistry Tutor, and Chemistry LibreTexts.
3. Check if these platforms have specific lessons or sections dedicated to inductive effects or acid-base reactions.
4. Read the descriptions or overviews of the tutorials to see if they cover the topics you are interested in.
5. If possible, try to find tutorials that provide examples or practice problems related to acids, bases, and inductive effects.
6. Once you find a suitable tutorial, take notes and pay attention to the explanations and examples provided.
7. If you come across any terms or concepts that you are unfamiliar with, look for additional resources such as textbooks or lecture notes that provide more detailed explanations.
Remember, it's always beneficial to consult multiple sources to fully understand a topic. You can also consider reaching out to your instructor or classmates for additional resources or clarification.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
