Substitution and Elimination Reactions
In this substitution and elimination reactions worksheet, students compete reactions by drawing the structural formulas for 18 reactions. If no reaction occurs, students write N.R.
Curated OER
Organic Compounds and Physical Properties
For this chemistry worksheet, students identify which has the highest boiling point, as well as the lowest. Then they identify which compound is least soluble in water and why. Students also classify each of the compounds listed on the...
