Soulja asked: I am currently taking Organic Chemistry and not doing too well (neither is the rest of my class). Our last exam average was 30%. The professors I currently have do not teach, and greatly believe in group work, which obviously is not working. If I were to take Organic Chemistry at a later time, would a W (withdrawal) look bad on my transcript when I am applying for Medical School?

Ziggy asked: I understand how water is able to dissolve ionic molecules, but I do not understand how organic solvents are able to dissolve substances that are bonded covalently. Are the bonds broken or is it a case of surrounding individual molecules to disrupt Van der Waal forces?
Keep any answers reasonably simple please!

kashanrat asked: For example, how do you work out the oxidation state of C2H5OH using an algebraic equation?
I always seem to get -2 for the oxidation state. Is it possible that oxidation state for Organic Compounds cannot be found this way?
Thanks in advance
