There are so many functional groups in organic chemistry that it's hard to keep track of them all. That's why I've created this quick functional group cheat sheet to remind you of the group name/appearance. I put a lot of work into this to help you study, so please don't keep it to yourself. Click the share buttons above so that your friends can benefit too.
Need more? Watch my Organic Chemistry Functional Groups tutorial video for a detailed breakdown of groups, structures, and memory tricks. then try the Functional Groups Practice Quiz to see if you've mastered them all.

Awesome! So glad the videos are helping you make sense of the information
