The problem sets provided here are similar to those found on various kinds of standardized exams, such as GRE, ACS & MCAT. The questions are roughly organized by subject, and most sets have over 50 multiple choice problems. To use a problem set, click on its descriptive title. There is some overlap of topics, especially stereochemistry and spectroscopy. The difficulty of the problems varies in a random fashion, as does the organization of subject. Answers are provided after the user has made a serious effort to do a significant number of problems.

  1. General Questions on Structure and Bonding
