Name-Reaction: Chemical Reactions, Explained Beautifully
Being a fellow engineering student, I've seen the many shortcomings with textbooks and web tutorials when it comes to explaining fundamental science. Generally, having to go to to Wikipedia and course textbooks has often led me to asking even more questions.
A few days ago, Name-Reaction.com launched and its goal was to explain chemical reactions with more emphasis on design and simplicity for the academic involved.
Scrolling through the different organic reactions, users can quickly hover over any name to preview a quick schematic. Better yet, clicking into a reaction gives users knowledge on the mechanisms involved in a beautiful color coded format.
Education is evolving and the addition of more user friendly and beautiful web sites like this one allow for students and chemists alike a more interactive view on fundamental chemical reactions. Name-Reaction is well on its way to becoming the online destination of choice to learn more about the topics your textbook could hardly explain. If you love science or just working on your next organic lab report, be sure to check out what Name-Reaction has to offer.
