THIS BOOK ATTEMPTS to put forward and interpret a personal habit of comparisons from a chemistry perspective. To compare, contrast, juxtapose, and equate is a human habit of finding abstraction. If you reflect, you will notice how we always sort big, confusing decisions in life by writing pros and cons. Such an arrangement would help organise thoughts, provide clarity, and improve decision-making.
Organic Chemistry has many concepts that can confuse and overwhelm new learners. A comparison table can offer clarity by organising information, highlighting similarities and differences, aid memorization, and enabling quick reference. Such a streamlined learning improves retention by presenting complex organic chemistry data in an organized, visually accessible way.
CurlyArrows comparison tables present complex concepts in a conversational style with several author notes, images, mnemonics, and examples in PDF format. Images are high-resolution, expanded, and placed below the table for improved understanding and better visibility.
