I have difficulty understanding Organic Chemistry .

@AakashKumar organic chemistry is a part where you may not be able to learn from books. Visual aids are generally necessary. Mainly people take tuitions for organic. If you do not have such an opportunity, then you may buy online lectures.

@Blue may help you ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ @AakashKumar

He bought lectures from etoos. He'll be able to recommend.

@AakashKumar Which class are you in?

If you are in class 11 then first start with NCERT for the basics. NCERT is sufficient for JEE Main organic chemistry. However, if you plan to appear for JEE Advanced then either you need to find a good teacher or follow a good lecture series and solve their study materials entirely.

After you have finished with your course MS Chouhan and Himanshu Pandey are good problem books in OC. Personally, I followed Prakash Ojha sir's lectures from Etoos and found that they contain sufficient theory (enough to solve the books which I mentioned). I followed only Etoos lectures and made short notes of all the reaction mechanisms and revised them time and again. That is probably sufficient for JEE Advanced as I could solve all the organic questions in JEE 2017 except 1.

This advice comes from someone with 9k rank in Advanced (went bad) and 3k rank in Mains. So take it with a grain of salt. You could try asking some of your seniors for advice too, who had a better rank. All the best!

@AakashKumar The most important chapter in OC is General Organic Chemistry aka Reaction Mechanisms. Do that well.

That forms the basis of all the Organic chapters.

I am taking Coaching . I just want to prepare it early so I can easily understand when taught in coaching .I follow OP Tandon in Organic .Is it good ?

@Blue ranks cannit determine your level of knowledge. No exam can ever evaluate you properly. The only proper evaluation is the evaluation of your inner self by yourself. It is then that you will truly gain knowledge, rather than participating in any race :-)

@AakashKumar OP Tandon is a very bad book with a lot of wrong facts and wrong questions. Please dump it as soon as possible.

I had Modern ABC for organic chem. It was a nice book.

Quite lengthy but easy to understand..

Q: A polynomial intersecting the x-axis while not intersecting the x-axis?(Complex Numbers)

I know three questions (that gained momentum) that have been posted asking a question which seems the same, but answers to none of them answer the following very well. Please jump to point 2 & 3 for immediate addressing to the problem. Knowledge that I currently have: I was introduced to imagi...

@GauravAgarwal Where did you find: "The x-axis is just the intersection of the complex plane and the Cartesian plane." ?

Gaurav Agarwal

@Blue A video series, that goes by the name : "Imaginary numbers are Real" on youtube by Welch Labs

@Blue yes this one

watch from the starting

@GauravAgarwal Which part: 1,2,3? It would be useful if you tell me the exact time where they make the claim. I don't have time to go through all the videos.

@Blue You got me wrong. It is what I understand.

Or it is what my conclusion is

and hence the question

that i posted above

@GauravAgarwal Hmm. The answer to your question is that thinking imaginary numbers lie on the z axis is wrong. Also, say for example y=x^2+1 will never intersect the x axis. However, you could get a 3D curve (a paraboloid) if you consider R3. I don't know how you concluded "The x-axis is just the intersection of the complex plane and the Cartesian plane"

Gaurav Agarwal

@Blue I am thinking the same thing, how I concluded this. But this is the best thing that resonates up to my level. Guess, when i'll clear JEE, i'll put more time to understand topology and complex analysis

Anonymous

@AnubhavGoel Modern ABC doesn't have sufficient theory for JEE Advanced.

Anonymous

@GauravAgarwal This has nothing to do with topology and complex analysis. Just understand the Argand plane...that's all! Making absurd conclusions didn't really help. I still didn't understand what 3D curve you are talking about.

Gaurav Agarwal

I was wrong about it you see. It actually is a 4-d structure

Is this what you were confused about ? ^
