192TO THE STUDENT
{As you study organic chemistry, make certain you fully understand each new fact
that you encounter. While studying the material, you should be continuously asking
yourself "why?": Why does that reaction occur? Why is that product formed? Why is that
compound more stabie? If you truly understand each new piece of information, you will
be creating a foundation upon which to lay subsequent information. A strong foundation
will allow you to master a great deal of material with much less effort than you would
have to put out if you were memorizing your way through the material
Often it is the new vocabulary that you encounter when you are first exposed to a
discipline that can be the biggest hurdle to mastering the material. For that reason I have
included a list of the important terms and their definitions at the beginning of cach
chapter in the Study Guide. Reading these is a good way to review some of the important
aspects of the chapter.
‘There are two kinds of problems in the textbook. The problems at the end of each
section within a chapter are designed to let you see if you have understood the material
presented in that section, and to reinforce the material. You should do these problems as
you encounter them. The problems at the end of each chapter integrate the concepts in the
Chapter and sometimes include concepts that were mastered in previous chapters. Try to
do as many of these as possible. The more problems you do, the more comfortable you
will become with organic chemistry, and the more you Will enjoy it.
Organic chemists use curved arrows to show the bonds that break and the bonds
that form in an organic reaction. When you start studying organic reactions in Chapter 3,
take time to do the exercise on drawing curved arrows that you will find on page 101.
There is also an exercise in model building (page 151) that will help you with the
material in Chapter 5.
Good luck in your study. If you have any comments or suggestions about how the
‘Study Guide could be improved for those students who will follow you, I would be very
happy to hear from you.

Solutions to Problems
1, The mass number = the number of protons + the number of neutrons
The atomic number = the number of protons. All isotopes have the same atomic number; in the
case of oxygen itis 8.
‘Therefore:
‘The isomer of oxygen with a mass number of 16 has 8 protons and 8 neutrons.
The isomer of oxygen with a mass number of 17 has 8 protons and 9 neutrons.
The isomer of oxygen with a mass number of 18 has 8 protons and 10 neutrons.
2. Using the aufbau principle (electrons go into available orbitals with the lowest energy) and the
Pauli exclusion principle (no more than 2 electrons in each atomic orbital), and remembering that
the relative energies of the atomic orbitals are:
Is<2s<2p <3s<3p<4s<3d<4p<5s<4d
