ChemInteractive is a work in progress, it is not complete. Only some types nomenclature and mechanism problems are available currently. It is hoped that problems on other topics, such as spectrospcopy, will be added. Please check back occasionally to see what's new.
It has undergone a major revision so may contain errors and bugs.
Comments won't be shown until they have been reviewed and approved.
If you have comments about specific problems please say what type of problem it was (mechanism, etc.) and give the problem id which is shown when the problem is presented.
Your feedback will be very helpful in the improvement and development of the site. Thank you.

Hi Dr. Casey - If it's okay with you I'd like to link your page for my own students to use in their upcoming Organic classes. Coincidentally I was one of the first 4 Salford chemistry students to go on the US exchange to Toledo 40 years ago. All 4 of us are still going strong and meet up regularly to reminisce and complain about old age. I returned to the US for my Ph.D. (Ohio State) and, after a post-doc, moved into smaller school academics. Thoroughly enjoyed it and always appreciate new tools for teaching a subject that most students find intimidating. I do similar to your site and am enjoying how AI (Claude Design mostly) can speed up animation and quiz building. All the best!
Hi Peter.
It's great to hear from a Salford graduate and to see that you are enjoying your career in the US. I found teaching demanding, but very rewarding. The advent of AI tools holds much promise but I confess that I am glad not to have to grapple with the challenges that it will bring.
Please do link directly to the ChemInteractive site; I hope your students will find it helpful. If you have any feedback, I'd love to hear it.
Best regards,
Mike
Even when I login and remain logged in, the number of questions I have attempted and my progress always gets reset to zero. This hinders my progress in keeping my organic chemistry sharp. Kindly fix this issue. Thank you very much.
Hi Soumyadeep Panda.
I'm sorry that you have encountered that bug. I haven't been doing any development work on ChemInteractive for some months, but I will get back to it soon and will try to fix that issue.
Many thanks from France, where your website is very helpful to me. Do you think it would be possible to add a sentence indicating the subject of the quiz (e.g. substitution)?
Hi Hinx,
Apologies for taking so long to respond, I was busy on another project and then I did somthing silly that broke the commenting system.
Thank you for the kind remarks, I'm glad that you found ChemInteractive helpful. Where do you think that a description of the topic of the quiz should be shown?
Mike
Everything looks good so far! I'd just like to see more questions, more depth
Hi Aleut,
Sorry for the very late response, I was distracted by another project and then I broke the Comments system altogether!
I have added more problems recently and will be adding new types of problems in the coming months. When you ask for 'more depth' did you have anything in particular in mind?
Mike.
What's good about ChemInteractive? What's not good? Are there any other features you would like to see?
All comments welcome.
