Coller, B. A. W.; And Others – Journal of Chemical Education, 1980
Analyzed are the deficiencies of a traditional freshman course in chemistry, including (1) chemistry model usage, (2) inadequate discrimination between related but different basic concepts, and (3) methods for teaching elementary ideas. Described is an approach used to resolve these problems. (CS)

Ferguson, Lloyd N. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1980
Presented are three ways in which bioactivity of organic compounds has been introduced in organic chemistry courses. One is to point out a typical bioactivity of a given functional group. A second is to discuss biorganic mechanisms. A third is to draw structure-activity correlations (SAR). (Author/HM)

Hall, H. K., Jr. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1980
An analogy between electron transfer reactions of the elements and those of organic molecules is offered. Examples of organic electron transfer reactions are presented. The rationale of constructing an organic chemists' periodic table is also discussed. (HM)

Murdoch, Joseph R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1981
Presents information concerning a fundamental concept for understanding reaction rate, the idea of a rate-limiting step for a chemical reaction. Discusses problems in using flow analogies and introduces an alternative approach to finding the rate-limiting step based on locating the transition state of highest energy. (CS)
