Practice Problem: Reaction of a Terminal Alkyne
We've got a terminal alkyne, and we're gonna do some stuff to it. What will we get? What's that Grignard reagent gonna do? Be careful!

What Is The Smallest Particle We Know?
We have built beautiful particle accelerators in the search for particles that are even more elementary than electrons, protons, and neutrons. The accelerators smash subatomic particles at enormous speeds, which causes them to shatter...

Practice-Problem: Two-Reaction Pathway
This time we have a starting material, and we are gonna do just two reactions. But it's a little tricky! See if you can figure it out.

Practice Problem: Drawing Substitution and Elimination Products (SN1/SN2/E1/E2)
I know you guys are dying for more practice choosing between SN1/SN2/E1/E2 mechanisms, so hopefully this one helps a little. Make sure to look at all the factors we talked about in my tutorial on this topic!

Practice Problem: Nuclear Reactions
We've learned about all the different types of nuclear reactions that can occur, so given this word problem, can you find the missing nuclide?

Practice Problem: Assigning Molecular Structure From an NMR Spectrum
For this one we need to be able to interpret NMR data in order to arrive at the correct molecular structure based on an empirical formula. It's not as hard as it sounds!

Organolithium Reagents
We've seen one organometallic reagent before, the Grignard reagent. That had magnesium in it. Well now let's learn another! Organolithium reagents are commonly used, so let's see what they do.
