Description

Mechanisms is the first app for organic chemistry that allows you to practice and learn reaction mechanisms by moving and manipulating electrons! 90% of college students find Mechanisms to be beneficial to their studies ー don’t get left out of the equation!

See, touch, and practice how chemical reactions occur at the particulate level in an
intuitive way. As you work through each exercise, you will receive hints and feedback based on the moves you make - so you learn as you practice and apply concepts. Mechanisms also provides you with real-time assessment, giving you a measure of your performance and comprehension every step of the way.

----------------------------------------
Mechanisms – HIGHLIGHTS
----------------------------------------
- FREE to use
- CHEMISTRY HOMEWORK made simple
- PRACTICE 40 different chemistry-based puzzles
- INTERACTIVE studying 一 drop your paper and pencil
- VISUALIZE mechanisms, electrons, protons, molecules, bonds, reactions, and elements!

An Interactive Way to Learn Organic Chemistry
-----------------------------------------------------------------

With content developed to complement the organic chemistry curriculum of top universities,
Mechanisms offers a new way for you to practice, learn, and master important concepts in
organic chemistry. Our content library will continue to expand, with new puzzles and modules in
development.

The introductory set of Mechanisms puzzles include 40 challenges regarding chemical structure,
acid-base reactions, addition reactions, and a survey of carbonyl reactions. All these puzzles include
hints and videos to help you understand organic chemistry better.

Built By Award Winning Educators & Developers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Created and designed by an award-winning, research-backed, National Science Foundation-funded
team of educators and game-developers, Mechanisms combines curriculum content from top
universities with innovative and thoughtful design.

The Mechanisms Full Access will include reactions that cover substitution, elimination,
electrophilic aromatic substitution, and specific reactions of the functional groups of oxygen. This
broad range of Mechanisms puzzles will take you from early concepts in semester one to the toughest
multi-step reactions of semester two.

You can acquire full access to all mechanism puzzles and future updates with a one-time purchase.

Great design but where are the updates for paid users

One of the best organic chemistry apps -maybe the best- and the look is so nice which is why I bought the full version, but now I have not received any updates that increased the content, lessons, or features. Where are the promised updates that was included as a perk for buying the app? I'll change my rating is I get new levels like the feature list mentioned as an added value for the paid version.

This app is absolutely amazing

WELL WORTH THE PRICE FOR FULL VERSION. I took organic chemistry 1 and 2 from a nationally recognized and feared professor in the US, and passed top of the class. I give a good amount of credit to this app in all honesty. The mechanics of the reactions are so perfectly designed to get the user to see how and why things happen in reactions. For example, the app forces you to show resonance stability in certain situations where it’s helpful to understand that the reaction ONLY occurs because of the resonance stability. I recommend turning off the hints/goals option once you get the hang of things to really test your intuitive orgo skills. If you put in the work and invest yourself fully into organic chemistry, this app will absolutely help you understand and visualize reactions better. I also recommend going back to reactions you’ve passed in this app and predicting products on paper before doing it on the app if you’re using it to study. I love how the app is broken into sections like pi systems and carboxylic acid reactions. These are common sections that lecture based courses are often broken into as well. 10/10 love this app and I love organic chemistry more because of it!!!

Builds an intuition for how electrons flow

This app is incredible.
Almost all of the students that I tutor have trouble understanding mechanisms and instead of trying to learn them, they try and rely on raw memorization. Although it’s technically “possible” to memorize every reaction in Ochem, it’ll be 10X the amount of work and be 10X less useful then just learning how electrons flow. And fortunately, this app teaches you just that.
Those who use this app will be able to see and more importantly “feel” how reactions work. The more puzzles in this app that you complete, the more intuitive organic chemistry starts to become. I would 100% recommend this app. It’ll cut hours out of your study sessions and you won’t have to second guess if the arrows you are drawing are correct. It has helped me and all of the students I’ve talked to who have it get through Ochem 1 and 2. Give it a shot!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for this great feedback on the Mechanisms App. We are glad to hear that you and the students you tutor, find this app helpful. Please let us know if you have any questions about the app info@alchem.ie. We are always happy to help.
