About Organic functional groups name typing

Read and type the names beside the Organic functional groups pictures. Practice 20 names in a fixed sequence, from Hydroxyl group to Phosphate monoester group, keeping each picture connected with its written term.

Connect 20 functional-group diagrams with names such as hydroxyl, carbonyl and amide.

R denotes the rest of the molecule. Compare bond orders and connectivity as well as element symbols; distinguish an amide from an amino group.

Enter the full displayed name or a registered alternative to advance automatically. You can edit unfinished text. Enter during input-method composition does not count as an error.

The first nonempty input starts the timer. The final screen shows elapsed time, keystrokes per minute and errors. Best times are stored in this browser separately for each topic, set and language.
