✦ Synopsis
This British test is an introductory course in organic chemistry. After an introductory chapter on molecular composition and structure, nine chapters cover fundamental principles in relation to monofunctional aliphatic compounds.
The next five chapters are devoted to bifunctional aliphatic compounds, with an introduction to stereochemistry included. The final four chapters are on benzene and its derivatives. The text is arranged so that the teacher may terminate the course with Chapters 10, 15, or 19, depending on the standard required.
