Organic Chemistry Mind Map Structure
An A level organic chemistry mind map organises the subject by functional group. Most courses start with hydrocarbons such as alkanes and alkenes, then move to halogenoalkanes, alcohols, carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acids and aromatic chemistry. Each family links to its characteristic reactions, such as addition, substitution, oxidation and esterification, so you can see how one group leads to another.
- Hydrocarbons: alkanes, alkenes, free-radical substitution and addition
- Functional groups: halogenoalkanes, alcohols, carbonyls and acids
- Reaction types: substitution, elimination, oxidation and condensation
- Mechanisms: nucleophilic attack, electrophilic addition and radicals
- Analysis: isomerism, naming rules and spectroscopy basics
Use the map to plan revision, check which reactions link to each group, and spot gaps. CogniGuide can turn your own notes into a personalised organic chemistry map.

Organic Chemistry Mind Map Questions
Answers about what to include and how to make your own map.
What topics does an A level organic chemistry map usually cover?
Most maps cover hydrocarbons, halogenoalkanes, alcohols, carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acids, aromatic chemistry, isomerism and analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy.
Why organise organic chemistry by functional group?
Compounds with the same functional group share characteristic reactions. Grouping by functional group makes it easier to predict products and remember reaction pathways.
Which files can I use to make my own map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images of your notes. You can also type a topic instead.
Is it free, and can I turn the map into a quiz?
There is a free plan with 5 creations a week and no payment needed. Each map can be turned into a quiz to test yourself, and the same notes can become flashcards.
