Organic Chemistry Practice Tests
for students of chemistry and pharmacology

(Test version, under development)

English

The following tutorial pages were primarily planned for students involved in organic chemistry courses, especially in pharmaceutical programs.
This auxiliary syllabus surveys and refreshes some selected topics of your organic chemistry knowledge. Practical knowledge is emphasized, therefore minimal theory is used with many exercises and questions to be answered (isomers, stereochemistry). On the other hand, the interpretation, identification and recognition of the structures and names of organic compounds is endeavoured by pairing different cards, similar to those used in memory games.

If you see the coloured methane molecule, then the JSmol viewer works perfectly in your browser (Chrome, FireFox, Edge and Safari bowsers are supported). To interact with the display window:

To rotate the molecule within the X or Y axes: hold down the left mouse button and move the mouse.
To rotate the molecule around the Z axis: hold down the left mouse button along with SHIFT and move the mouse left/right.
To zoom in or out: hold down the left mouse button along with SHIFT and move the mouse up/down.
To translate the molecule: hold down the left mouse button along with CTRL and ALT and move the mouse.
If you click in the display window with the right mouse button, several other options become available. These will not be used here, however, you may experience with them.

Using a touchscreen device only rotation is availabe (one-finger operation), and zooming and translation (two-finger operation).
