This is the second volume in a series of three which takes the reader from the concept of a hard, indivisible atom through to the understanding and application of techniques to identify the precise arrangements of atoms within the molecules responsible for natural food flavourings. This volume (Volume II in the series) builds on the principles discussed and investigated in Volume I and extends it to the analysis of the structure of small molecules. The molecules analysed include all the classes of organic compounds studied at advanced level including linear aliphatic compounds such as ketones, aldehydes, nitriles, ethers, halogenated alkanes, alcohols and carboxylic acids and esters. It continues with the study of non-aromatic and aromatic cyclic compounds. The volume comprises four parts and starts with the analysis of a number compounds in full. Part II is a handbook of practice problems with one example, again discussed in full with at least one subsequent practice tasks. the volume concludes with complete solutions sheets for the practice tasks and a glossary of commonly used phrases and terms which many experienced chemists struggle to exactly define however well they understand them.
