Helps student move beyond memorisation.  The
Fifth Edition of Organic Chemistry is written to support all
kinds of learners?whether students read the book, or use it
as a reference. New ?Visualise, Understand, Draw?
sections help students draw molecules well, visualise how they are
formed, and understand why reactions occur. The Fifth Edition has
been revised to be more accessible, with a focus on the basics and
more opportunities for problem-solving practice, while the robust
media package helps students visualise organic chemistry.

 Written and designed by expert
teachers.  Steven A. Fleming and
Maitland Jones have more than fifty years combined experience
teaching organic chemistry. They know how to get students to think
about and understand each concept, and build student confidence in
solving problems. The authors employ a conversational writing style
that is authoritative, instructive, and interesting to read.

 Media resources give students more opportunities for
visualisation.  Organic Reaction Animations (ORA), now
online, is a compilation of more than fifty organic reactions whose
pathways have been calculated and animated to help students
visualise the events that occur in the most important organic
reactions. Each reaction is represented in 4 ways:

• Ball-and-stick model


• Space-filling model


• Ball-and-stick with the HOMO superimposed


• Ball-and-stick with the LUMO superimposed

ORA is integrated into the text with icons identifying each
reaction and also includes tutorials on the reactions themselves.
Students can test their understanding by solving the ORA Problems
that are found at the end of most chapters.  Every copy of the
text includes an access code to ORA, the e-book, and
SmartWork.
