Organic molecules visualizable by crystal data in introductory chemistry

Abstract

Generating checklists could provide new insights into the teaching strategies. Thus, the crystal struc-tures’ data of organic compounds learned in secondary chemical education were collected from the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) database. It has revealed that almost all the crystal data of these organic molecules are available, contrarily to an anticipation that liquid or gaseous ones at room temperature have few data. This index data would be fundamental for further studies hereafter.
