Provides a wealth of helpful comments and friendly guidance that can be used to facilitate students’ understanding and develop problem solving skills.
The solutions manual to accompany Organic Chemistry provides fully-explained solutions to all the problems that feature in the second edition of Organic Chemistry . Intended for students and instructors alike, the manual provides helpful comments and friendly advice to aid understanding, and is an invaluable resource wherever Organic Chemistry is used for teaching and learning.
