Spontaneous and Non-Spontaneous Reactions

 This might help the memory:

    For Gibbs, greatness was not spontaneous. It took energy.

In Chemistry terms, G>0 is not spontaneous, and the reaction is endothermic. 

Then, all you must remember is that entropy (S) is the inverse. Therefore, S>0 is spontaneous.

Naming Organic Compounds- Extra Practice

 Here is a google drive file where I have compiled some worksheets from throughout the internet: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QqWyFmu3zj2wmcuE-bQ-RDUpDD8vs1Gk?usp=sharing And here is a website where you can do practice quizzes. You can choose the difficulty and content covered, and it will make a quiz, drawing from a bank of almost 1000 questions:  https://orgchem101.com/nom/en/ This website does a similar thing: https://www.ucd.ie/chem/chemint/nomenclature.htm A Quizlet: https://quizlet.com/6954952/organic-nomenclature-flash-cards/ Some Kahoots: https://create.kahoot.it/share/organic-chemistry/5baac847-4e88-4392-9348-5c77c813ee6f https://create.kahoot.it/details/af86b3c2-c70b-457c-9aca-cd2c846a2dd6 https://create.kahoot.it/details/c0789dcd-2e2b-4ee7-a0c5-1369a8bb85ea https://create.kahoot.it/details/21c9194a-fbf4-48b7-80d0-888dfe660b42 https://create.kahoot.it/details/0fbf64b3-c301-4d56-b70a-bb854fb37c7f https://create.kahoot.it/details/98fdaa34-f53f-4437-87e9-ad86c40b0844
